Product Description
High-quality Steering Angle Sensor designed for Citroën C4 and C4 Picasso models. This sensor monitors the angular position of the steering wheel and provides critical input to the vehicle stability systems (ESP/ABS) and steering control modules. Common OEM numbers associated with this unit include 0265005486 and 9650236180.
Overview
The steering angle sensor converts steering wheel rotation into an electrical signal used by the vehicle’s electronic stability control and braking systems. A faulty sensor can trigger warning lights, disable stability assist features and affect electronic power steering behavior. Intended for professional mechanics and competent DIYers familiar with steering and SRS precautions.
Features & Benefits
- Direct replacement for compatible Citroën/Peugeot PSA models.
- Restores accurate steering angle input for ESP and ABS systems.
- Includes multiple OEM cross-reference numbers for easy lookup.
Symptoms Of Failure
- ESP/ABS warning lights or intermittent stability control faults.
- Erratic or weakened steering assistance and inconsistent steering feel.
- Diagnostic trouble codes referencing steering angle sensor, steering position or communication errors.
Replacement & Installation
Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or an experienced DIYer. Basic steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and follow SRS safety procedures before working near the airbag or steering column.
- Remove steering column covers and access the sensor or module location (often behind the steering wheel/clock spring area or integrated into the steering column assembly on PSA vehicles).
- Unplug the electrical connector, remove retaining fasteners and fit the new sensor in the original position.
- Reassemble components and reconnect the battery.
- Perform steering angle calibration (zeroing) using a diagnostic tool (e.g., manufacturer-level scan tool or aftermarket diagnostic equipment) to ensure proper ESP/ABS operation.
Calibration is essential: without it the vehicle’s stability systems may remain disabled or operate incorrectly.
