Booking

Recalibrates the steering-angle sensor so stability, traction and ABS systems see a true straight-ahead. Commonly needed after an alignment, suspension work or a sensor replacement. Compatibility varies by year, make and model — I verify before you pay.

The steering-angle sensor tells stability, traction and ABS systems which way the wheels are pointing. After an alignment, suspension work or a sensor replacement, it usually needs recalibrating so those systems read zero at straight-ahead.

I recalibrate it on supported vehicles at your location, and I confirm the alignment is done first — a calibration on an unaligned car just gets knocked out again.

What this addresses

Stability-control or ABS warnings after an alignment
Steering wheel straight but the car thinks it's turned
Warning light staying on after a steering-angle sensor replacement
Traction light on after steering or suspension work

Compatibility

Calibration procedures vary by year, make and model — most vehicles are supported, some need manufacturer tooling. I verify yours before booking and tell you if it isn't available.

How mobile service works

1Tell me your year, make, model, engine — and what your car is doing (or what feature you want changed).
2I verify your vehicle and confirm the service is supported before you spend anything — compatibility varies by year, make and model.
3I confirm the price with you before I head out. Prices are starting prices; a travel fee applies beyond 10 miles.
4I come to you — your home, your office, your driveway. No waiting room, no dealership lane.
5I work with professional equipment, explain what I find in plain English, and deliver — a diagnostic report, a reset, a feature unlocked.

Common questions

Why does an alignment need this afterwards?

Alignment changes the relationship between the steering wheel and the wheels, so the stability systems' zero point moves. The calibration re-teaches straight-ahead.

Will this clear my traction light?

If the light is on because of an out-of-range zero point, often yes. If there's a sensor or wiring fault, the diagnostic shows that instead.

Is this the same as a wheel alignment?

No. Alignment is mechanical adjustment; this is the electronic sensor calibration. They're usually needed together, in that order.
