RE: steering angle sensor

Short answer - in the steering column under the clock spring

These C-class guys on Benzworld have some ideas.
http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w203-c-class/1440963-esp-malfunctio...
C-class Wis doc attached
"Procedure:
1. Wear an industrial grade head protection because you're too lazy to disconnect the battery in order to deactivate the airbag.
2. Remove the airbag by loosening the 2 side-screws via a T30 driver or ratchet.
3. Carefully pull off the airbag. My gf has 2 so it's much harder. Mind the 3 wires going into it though.
4. The black wire pulls straight out, the yellow and green are clipped.
5. The hard part now is getting the 10mm bolt off the column. You will need a rachet with at least a 2' extension bar. Either have someone hold the steering for you, or use your weaker arm. The point is that your ratchet force must not act on the steering lock.
6. Pull off the steering and play some frisbee with it.
7. Take out the 3 torx screws from the clock spring.
8. Gently pry out the clock spring in a circular patten. It's stuck onto the SAS. It should pull straight out. Be careful not to break anything.
9. Pull off the SAS and admire the quality of Benz parts.
10. Follow the calibration procedure in the above posts.
11. Stick the clock spring on the SAS (it's easier this way) and put everything back together.
12. Start up the car in anticipation.
13. If you get codes, try resetting the SAS by turning the steering lock to lock. Drive around and stop. Check again.

RE: steering angle sensor

As for how to loosen the bolt, I found that a towel wrapped board can be inserted sideways through the steering wheel and braced against the window ledge. Then cranking on that steering bolt is much easier.

RE: steering angle sensor

Please advise if there's something else you need...

The airbag removal doc (AR91.60-P-0660P) was too big to post, so I put it up on a public share: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4nL3rm6S5kPZnJDMU1kNlZNbmM

Re: steering angle sensor

I'd recommend zip tying the clock spring when I take it off so it doesn't pop open

I think the SAS recalibration is a matter of turning the steering from full lock back and forth five times as described in the Benzworld post referenced above.

Re: steering angle sensor

When I had my steering wheel off to replace turn stalk I thought about popping a new one of those in. Although it really wasn't too bad to get in there.
