Autel and Honda SAS Reset
Applied to Autel Maxisys, MaxiCOM, MaxiDAS, MaxiIM IM608 etc series scanners.
Example:
How to reset the steering angle sensor to its zero point neutral point on a 2017 Honda Accord using an autel scanner. This should be done after a wheel alignment, clock spring replace or abs module replace.
Procedure:
Select Hot Function->Steering->ABS VSA
ABS VSA control unit will quit communication above 50 km/h
Select All sensors
After replacing the VSA control unit or sensor cluster do the neutral position memorization procedure for all sensors.
incl. steering angle sensor, brake pressure sensor, lateral G sensor
Press OK to continue
Stop engine, level the vehicle, straight the steering wheel, do not press the brake pedal
Press OK to start the neutral position memorization procedure
Gear in P position or gear in N position and apply the parking brake.
Turn on ignition switch and start the engine.
Turn the steering wheel lock to lock
Press OK
Keep the steering wheel in the straight ahead position and drive the vehicle straight line for more than 3 meters.
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
After this process, press OK.
The operation has been successful.
Turn the ignition switch off
Turn the ignition switch on
Steering angle sensor calibration is done.

Honda HDS and SAS Reset
Both HDS original and HDS HIM clone double-board can do this job.
When removing and installing a cable reel, you need to keep both the cable reel and the steering angle sensor in
position. If you don’t , the VSA indicator may come on along with one or more VSA DTCs. And when you run the
Neutral Memorization Procedure in the i-HDS, it won’t complete.
By the way, this procedure is covered as VSA Sensor Neutral Position Memorization in the service information.
To keep those parts properly positioned, here’s a tip: First, make sure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead with
the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position. Then, before removing the cable reel, tape both the cable reel and
steering angle sensor together. This not only keeps the parts properly positioned, but keeps the sensor from accidently
moving.
When you turn the steering wheel to
the right (or the sensor clockwise), the reading increases or moves in a positive direction. When you turn it to the left
(or the sensor counterclockwise), the reading decreases or moves in a negative direction
To manually position the steering angle sensor, you first need to determine its current position with the i-HDS. How you
do that depends on how far along you are with your repair.
For instance, if you’ve completely assembled the steering column, you’ll need to go to the ABS/TCS/VSA Data List and
check the STEERING ANGLE (CAN) value. If you haven’t yet installed the steering angle sensor, you’ll need to at least
hook up the sensor, the cable reel, and either the airbag assembly or the applicable simulator tool, then read the sensor
value in the data list.
In this example, the STEERING ANGLE (CAN) value is reading a positive 180°, which tells you the steering angle
sensor is 180° out of position clockwise. To fix this, you’ll need to remove the sensor from the cable reel and turn the
two tabs 180° counterclockwise to bring the sensor back to center or 0°.
When you’re done, you’ll then need to install all of the removed components and repeat the Neutral Memorization
Procedure. If you’ve done the sensor adjustment right , the procedure should complete and you can then move on with
your repair.
