Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In order to reset the steering angle sensor mounted on Volkswagen vehicles, you will need to turn on the instrument panel by inserting the ignition key into the corresponding slot. Once the instrument panel is turned on, you can turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right. This operation should be repeated three times, and then you can turn the key in the opposite direction to turn off the instrument panel. Once it is turned on again, you can verify that everything is functioning correctly.
