B66 Steering wheel angle sensor (SAS)

W42.45-1032-11

The steering wheel angle sensor (SAS) (B66) is between the steering
column bracket and steering wheel.
 The steering wheel angle sensor (SAS) (B66) detects the steering
wheel angle specified by the driver, converts it into a CAN message
and transmits this inside the frame CAN (CAN 3) to all the control units
connected to it.

B66 Steering wheel angle sensor (SAS)

W42.45-1033-81

The steering wheel angle sensor (SAS) (B66) is installed in two
variants:
Relative steering wheel angle sensor
Absolute steering wheel angle sensor
The two sensors behave in exactly the same way as far as steering
angle and revolution counter are concerned. The relative steering
wheel angle sensor, however, is not designed to store the last steering
wheel position status or to ensure that the steering wheel position is
updated with the supply voltage switched off (terminal 15 OFF).
Vehicles with the following codes are equipped with a relative steering
wheel angle sensor:
Code C6P (Power steering pump, electronically controlled)
Code S1D (Stability Control Assist(ESP))
Code S1I (Proximity Control Assist)
Code S1L (Attention Assist)
Code S1P (Active Brake Assist)
Code S1C (Active Brake Assist 2)
Code S1M (Active Brake Assist 3)
Code S1V (Active Brake Assist 4)
Code S1R(Cornering assistant)
The following codes result in the vehicles being equipped with an
absolute steering wheel angle sensor:
Code A4B (Leading axle, 7.5 t, steered, relievable) - on vehicles as
of 01.10.2015
Code A4Q (Trailing axle, 9 t, steered, relievable, liftable) - on
vehicles as of 01.10.2015
Code A4R (Trailing axle, 9 t, steered, relievable) - on vehicles as of
01.10.2015
Code A4T (Trailing axle, 8 t, steered, relievable, liftable) - on
vehicles as of 01.10.2015
Code A4U (Trailing axle, 8 t, steered, relievable) - on vehicles as of
01.10.2015
Code A4X (Trailing axle, 7.5 t, steered, relievable) - on vehicles as
of 01.10.2015
Code A4Y (Trailing axle, 7.5 t, steered, relievable, liftable) - on
vehicles as of 01.10.2015
Code L1N(Front fog lamps, LED daytime running lights, cornering
lights)
Code JAVA (Leading axle 8 t, air-sprung and hydraulically steered)
- on model 963 as of 01.10.2015, on model 964 as of 01.01.2016
Code JA4Y (Trailing axle, 7.5 t, steered, relievable, liftable) in
combination with code JCLA (Steering system, standard,
electronic-hydraulic) and code JZAQ (Chassis modification to
8x4/4, trailing axle)

Function
When the steering wheel is turned, the code ring (2) of the steering
wheel angle sensor (SAS) (B66) also turns and the code ring
segments and gaps move between the optics (3) and the CCD sensor
(4). The optics (3) shine a beam of light from an LED onto the CCD
sensor (4). If a code ring segment passes between the CCD sensor (4)
and the optics (3), it casts a shadow over the CCD sensor (4).
The width of the segments and the gap between the segments vary.
The different shadows and gap sizes allow the CCD sensor (4) to
detect the current steering angle of the steering wheel. An internal
counter additionally counts the number of complete revolutions
(greater than 360°).
After the steering wheel angle sensor (SAS) (B66) has received
the wake-up signal from the central gateway (CGW) control unit (A2)
via the frame CAN (CAN 3), it performs a self-test.
If no faults are detected during the self-test, the steering wheel angle
sensor (SAS) (B66) delivers the current steering wheel position in the
form of a CAN message every 10 ms.
The steering movements are broken down into steps of 0.2°.
