Thank you! Dad's 2012 outback had the same issue. I replaced the clock spring but didn't know it needed to be calibrated. Grabbed my neighbors scanner, watched your video and followed your steps,got it calibrated and now I have less things to fix in this vehicle! Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video. I was able to correct this issue on my 2011 Subaru Outback using the Foxwell 634 scanner. From what I could tell, it is important to get the sensor in the general zero area to get this to work, if it is out of tolerance too far, it will continually set the code and won't let you clear or recalibrate. I ended up finding the zero (my tires were actually still turned to the right) and then disconnected the steering column and straightened the wheels, then reconnected. Now it is still at zero, drives straight, I can turn the steering through the full range, and the C0071 code does not appear anymore. Disconnecting the steering column between the firewall and power steering pump (two bolts) seemed easier to me than removing the steering wheel to correct the issue. If you are only 360 degrees out, make sure to mark the splines on the power steering pump to get the wheels and steering wheel to stay lined up when reconnecting.
Exactly my thoughts... Guy I bought my 08 OBXT from Micky Mouse'd his repairs so when I did my water pump and timing set I'm now going back through diagnosing and fixing all the issues, this being the biggest PIA. Cracks me up how frustrated I was when my Launch Diagun X-431 V kept throwing error codes when I tried to zero and recalibrate my SAS. Props for the work around.
Thank you so much for such a great video. I'm having the exact same issue and kept getting error codes on my diagnostic tool when trying to recalibrate my SAS. Best,
Great! Last year (october 2019) I did the same work on a MY13 Forester, I replaced the clockspring but steering angle sensor was twisted in a 360 degrees turn, because dtc went on when I turned to left (dtc started at 300 degrees). Thinking during about one hour I disassembled the clockspring and SAS, I turned the SAS as you did and the problem was solved. If I were watched your video those time, the solution were been easier haha... thanks for the video
You can find the mark (small arrows) on the steering wheel sensor (backside!). You rotate this sensor until two arrows are aligment to each other - this is 0 point 😉 Do not drop any material into this hole (you can see arrows through this hole). When you will place the sensor into position, this hole will be closed. When you do "calibration", be sure YAW sensor is ~0, G sensor is 0, steering wheel sensor is 0. In my case (Legacy IV) the engine MUST be running on P or N gear. I have tried to calibrate with engine off - VDC error appeared when started to drive. Finally the calibration has been done well with running engine (read the manual 😁).
Thank you so much for sharing all this info! I have a little problem with my Subaru Crosstrek, The power steering doesn't work and I don't know if it's the angle sensor or the ecu, steering rack sems to be ok Any idea please? Thank you
We have a 2019 crosstrek. It was showing 1063 but not changing when turning the wheel. Also with eyesight option they are both off with traction and hill assist
I replaced the steering wheel and definitely believe i messed with the steering angle sensor too. would that also trip the ABS light? right now have vdc, abs, and hill assist light on, on my 17 wrx
@@enj5932 This happened to me. Realized the tangs of the SAS didn't line up when I went to transfer to the new clockspring so it must've got rotated on me. Hopefully trial and error rotating 180 degrees each way will work
Hi,I have the same problem on my 2011 Subaru outback : traction + ABS light on and brake light blinking after battery replacement. What can I do? Can I get it fixed by myself?
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions I had the same symptoms as Al Fisher on my 2011 outback too, exactly after battery died and I replaced it. Dealer wants almost $1,000 to replace the whole assembly. Please help :-(
Thank you!

how to distinguish between a steering wheel reset using a dump and your method showing in this video. thanks sir

How can I do this if I don’t have the scanner to tell me how many degrees the sensor if off by?

Yes it will trip all 3 lights. Get it diagnosed to see if you have the C0071 fault.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions fixed it yesterday. had to take apart clock spring and recenter the steering angle sensor. got lucky wasnt crazy off

Thank you very much for your video, do you think that could WORK on an impreza xv 2010? Im from Argentina
Yes it should be a similar process if you have the C0071 fault.
thank you, really helped me out with that last step
I think I have the same issue. What's a decent budget scan tool that can read the degrees of the SAS? (09 Impreza WRX)
Thanks.
very educative. thank you regards,
Glad it was helpful!
На 4вд полный привод это может влият?
Уменя ошибки : c0051, c0052, c0071.
Пропал полный привод. 4вд
for some reasons i get the C1711 code. can i fix it the same way?
When you open there no need of reseting clock spring as well??
Do not turn the clockspring in the manner that I turned the steering angle sensor. It will get damaged internally.
Is it the same procedure for dealing with a 2012 Subaru impreza with the eyesight feature?
Did you get a solution for your 2012 imprezza
It's works 👍
Thank you bro!

what version of Autel Maxisys Elite are u using

Thanks for sharing. A life saver!
No problem, glad to help. Thank you for the comment.
Don't forget to mention disconnect the battery cable before you begin
Yes, you are careful, that's important.
But you can also take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/qUwY_yqduaU/v-deo.html, it may also be useful.
Good job
Nice 👍🏻
How about DTC C1433 code follow.up?
Tnx

You would have to diagnose to see what fault codes are present.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions I had the same symptoms as Al Fisher on my 2011 outback too, exactly after battery died and I replaced it. Dealer wants almost $1,000 to replace the whole assembly. Please help :-(
Same conditions as your problems, my question is what is the torque setting on the steering wheel?
I apologize for the delay. The service manual says to tighten it to 28.8 ft-lbs.
Does this work with a 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5xt ?
Yes this process will work for any steering angle sensor if it is out of range like mine was.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions great thank you
I’m do it, it’s work
Disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes before working with any airbag connection.
By the lack of replies I guess a scanner is needed
