Get your Volvo XC90 XC70 V70 back to correct ESP, ABS, lane assist and electronic stability control with this replacement angle sensor, also referenced in service manuals as the steering position sensor or yaw sensor. Built to OEM specification, matching 31318967, 30669744, 30798167, 30798577 and 31313083.

Common signs of failure

A failing steering angle sensor commonly triggers the ESP/ASR, ABS and traction control warning lights together, along with fault codes C1335, B1010 or similar (steering angle sensor not calibrated / circuit fault). Drivers report ESP off after every restart, lane assist and adaptive cruise disabled, and on newer cars the hill-hold function failing. The car will still drive but all the active safety systems that rely on knowing which way the wheel is pointing are offline.

Fitment notes

Plug-and-play replacement, but after fitting the new sensor needs to be calibrated to zero using VCDS, Bosch, Snap-on or an equivalent diagnostic tool — the procedure takes under a minute. On many vehicles, a short drive cycle through left and right lock will allow the sensor to self-learn. Position: Steering Wheel.

Frequently asked questions

Will the warning lights clear on their own?

No — steering angle sensors must be calibrated to the wheels' straight-ahead position after fitting. Without calibration the ESP module will continue to report a fault.

Does this come with the clock spring?

No — these are two separate components. The angle sensor is sold here on its own. If your existing clock spring is also faulty, order both.

Is calibration something I can do at home?

Yes if you have VCDS or a generic OBD2 tool that supports ESP module functions. Otherwise any garage with diagnostic equipment can do it in a few minutes.
