★ Top Answer
To start or recalibrate the steering angle sensor on an F-150, you might need to utilize FORScan, a diagnostics tool compatible with Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. This software is similar to an OBDII reader and allows you to access the ABS module's service functions. You can navigate to the Calibrate Longitudinal Sensor feature to complete the procedure. Before resetting the steering angle sensor, ensure that the wheels are properly aligned. Normally located on the steering wheel column, the SAS monitors the degree to which the wheel is turned left or right. In cases where recalibration is necessary, the stability control feature may be inactive. Look out for warning signs such as an illuminated ABS/traction control warning light along with error codes to identify if attention to the SAS is required.
