2020 Ram C220B-00 steering angle calibration

[DutchRamRepair]

Hello, this is my first post.
I searched your forum, often i found what i looked for.
Not on this subject. Perhaps i missed it.
Anyway, hoping you can help me,,,

Dodge Ram 2020

ABS: Steering angle sensor status: invalid.
DTC present C220B-00 ABS ACC Valves not calibrated.


Steering angle, is off about 7. degrees.
From steering wheel, down to the steering rack, are all fixed positions.
There is no way, to adjust this mechanically.
Perhaps the crash has twisted the steering colom shaft a few degrees, or a battery drain caused this.

The vehicle has been in a collision.
We repaired a few, but never had to adjust the steering angle.

Tools, CDA6, and Alfaobd.
No Witech, atleast non we have direct acces to.

Previous models, we could do the sas calibaration.
This function is not available.

This sas reset, has it become obselete. Does it only need to be within lets say 5 degrees.
And then reset and calibrated itself?


(We are located, in the Netherlands.
There are no other Ram forums, atleast not like this one.

Any ideas?

Is the steering angle sensor damaged? I wonder if you tried a new angle sensor if this would alleviate the issue.

The values are good, only when i turn it to 0 value. The wheel point 5 to 7 degrees to the left.
I could swapping it.
It is fixed, core slides over a tube, with a groove, and the outer plastic placed rigged on 3 screws.

But hwo knows, if that fixes it. It atleast will tell me more, if it is the sensor or the car.


So no sas align function?

Dealer can do a recalibration if the sensor. Or someone with a snap on scanner. Mine is currently 9° off center. Not sure how that happened with mine.

This^^^^ Dealer can recalibrate the steering angle.
was the steering tweaked in the collision, there is a belt that runs the motor in the rack, you have to remove the access panel on the rack itself, or the rack got damaged in the collision.

Here's a video on the belt replacement

This applies to many dodge trucks starting from 2013 Ram 1500 to 2019 Ram and more. I’ve seen thousands of posts about these generation Rams Power Steering s...

Thank you for this vid, very helpfull. Perhaps, i could adjust the belt, 1 sprocket, to get the angle o.

The steering rack has been replaced. I this checked today. It should have been straight, but i need a solution,
And this could work.


First, I will try to cheat, by loosing the steering angle sensor in the steering colom.
If i can get it within a 1 or 2 degrees, and drive, it might accept this values.

Offcourse Witech does have more functions then alfaobd, or cda6.

Only If the allingment dtc does not clear. I will visit a shop with Witech.

I thought the steering angle sensor was internal on the EPS unit?

 

[crazykid1994]

Steering angle sensor is actually in the clockspring I think. My BIL has the snap on scanner. He said his can for sure reset the steering angle sensor but I have to find time when he’s not busy and I’m not busy

Thank you,

Yes, in does measuring the steering angle is in the clockspring.
The data is stored in the abs unit.

I wiil try it with snapon. And let you know,

 

[DutchRamRepair]

If we dissmantle the steering clock unit,we might be able to adjust it manualy.
There are 2 sprockets, atleast, in older Rams, we could loosen, and refit in the correct 0 degrees position.

In this case, we decided to bring it to a shop, with witech. They could calibrated it.

I would have wanted to try it with the snap-on tester.
Perhaps another time.

Anyway, thank you all for your interest, and guidances.
