Yet another 4WS thread

Well, I checked the 4ws connectors. The only measurements that are totally out of bounds are the front encoder phases (A and B phases faulty, Z-phase looks about ok for the most part..) BTW, I skipped the measurements for the rear wheels, since it would be too much of a hassle, and the system is turned off anyways..

I have an appointment in a few days at a guy who knows a thing or two about these 4ws systems.. hopefully he will confirm my suspicions and not find anything else

Will report back soon

If you wanted to you can jack up the rear and manually turn the rear wheels to test the signal. Be warned! Even though they are jacked up they are kind of difficult to turn by hand

So.. the mechanic also said its almost certainly the main sensor behind the steering wheel. The hunt is on

Does anyone know how this main sensor looks like?
I have the feeling that this is NOT it:

I only have the low quality pic from the schematic: https://i.imgur.com/nyD8aLt.png

Same image in the parts catalogue;

Pretty sure some others on here have photographed it previously...

First link is some kind of airbag sensor. Second is your jackpot. Actually looks the same as in service manual. Nothing in there similiar.

I've disconnected and reconnected the sensor while it was still mounted.
Error code changed from 20 to 24, which is FRONT MAIN SENSOR in both cases.
So I think it just confirms the theory..

Still searching BTW

Have you messaged Newkid to see if he has one?

Im having the worst luck in my life regarding this sensor.
I must have sent about 100 emails and messages (not kidding) and I still havent found it..

newkid said he has it but is now not responding to my PM's

I have one, didn't know I had it. It's captive to the stalk assembly bit.
