    I have a question, I read a lot on the electrode, but I wanted to confirm whether after replacing the steering angle sensor, the power steering should start without calibrating the steering angle sensor. Is it necessary to calibrate after replacement so that the power steering starts? The car is without ESP.

    Before the exchange, I had a C1500 error with the description "Incorrect sensor signal". After replacing the steering angle sensor, I have a C1500 error with the description "Voltage out of range", the power steering does not start at all. Error right after running.
    The problem is that I have nothing to do to calibrate.

    I bought a used sensor and I suspect it was blown.

    If you mount it correctly, it should work even without calibration.

    See in the parameters the angle that is seen when the steering wheel is straight ahead.

    It is not only about the angle but also the strength in NM

    Before starting, when the sensor tests the parameters, you can see how the force changes, as I tighten the steering wheels, the angle does not change. There is an error after boot and the parameters are already dead, they don't change.
    So the sensor is released.

    hello, the torque and steering sensor must be perfectly mounted on the signs

    In fact, you need to mount the sensor perfectly and no calibration is needed. Properly mounted sensor without pre-tensioning, locked during assembly with a device, gives the effect of correct operation right away. Instructions in the file below.

    hello, I never failed, the force of turning left or right was always different, it always calibrates kts bosch

    When you calibrate it, the force sensor must be slightly stretched anyway, otherwise you wouldn't calibrate how tight it would be. I had a sensor mounted in a state of stress of the force sensor, it did not want to pass calibration. And when everything is relaxed, it always goes without calibration.
    I have succeeded more than once. If you do not have a screwed steering wheel and nothing on the steering shaft is tightening, then I press the sensor and loosen the clip.
    Sometimes lifting the wheels helps.

    And that`s not true. The sensor has a pin that locks it in the starting position, but this is only a preliminary setting. Precise calibration is performed with a tester where the values of the angle and turning torque parameters are zeroed. These values are saved in the electronics in the controller. So what if we install the sensor perfectly (which is impossible due to its sensitivity) if the previous sensor could have been calibrated in a slightly changed position and there will be different values in the controller.

    I will agree with you that calibration will complete the whole. If the torque sensor is minimally misaligned then calibration cannot be done. The sensor needs to be relaxed and there is a pin for that.
    Maybe I misspoke that calibration is not necessary. With calibration the power steering works more optimally. I haven't installed it for a long time, but I remember that when I set the sensor right, the reading from the force sensor in the parameters was almost zero.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the replacement of the steering angle sensor in an Opel Meriva A and the necessity of calibration for the power steering to function correctly. Users share insights on whether calibration is required after sensor replacement, especially in the absence of Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Some participants assert that if the sensor is mounted correctly, it should work without calibration, while others emphasize that proper calibration optimizes power steering performance. The presence of error codes, such as C1500, indicates issues with sensor signals and voltage, leading to discussions about the importance of correct installation and potential problems with used sensors. Calibration is deemed essential for ensuring accurate torque and angle readings, particularly if the sensor was previously misaligned.
