• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hesitation on hard right turns

Looking here at work at a angle sensor off a Chevy truck , the steering shaft of the column is flat on both sides and rounded on top and bottom. Half to look and see if maybe giving the hole where the shaft goes through maybe little clearance on the contact points , giving little movement in the shaft to sensor contact and several degrees before it actually engages the sensor . The trick is gonna half to be keeping the sensor centered and having a light spring tension to keep the sensor center until the shaft engages it

Can I put input here?


Oops, wait a minute...you guys sound like you know 10 times what I do on this subject!


Carry on.


Just keep me in the loop. Lol
 
DrewNJ, I can't remember exactly what it looked like. If I remember the end of the shaft had a little square magnet in it and it sat against the sensor. I tried to remove it but leave it plugged in and I got a code. I bolted it back on and have not messed with it.
It amazes me that BRP gave Nanny an adjustment on the 14's yet they won't make a software change to adjust the previous units. I would be willing to sign a release if they would create one.

You got a code with it removed but still plugged in? That sucks...wonder where it picked up that signal.

I have been back and forth with splitsec and they even verified with me looking at the wiring diagram, that both the SAS and YRS are indeed a CAN signal.
They even recommended rotating the YRS 90 degrees and either spacing the SAS off the shaft to give it a false input as an attempt.

ARGH. Pulled out in traffic today and needed to speed up fast...and VSS kicked me down so hard I thought the Spyder had actually cut off on me.
 
Can someone take their best photo skills and get a shot of the installed steering sensor?

Maybe it is viable to remote mount the sensor, and drive the left, right input at a reduced rate or gain. Say use a small cog pulley set. As an example a 20 tooth from the steering shaft to a 40 tooth sensor input.

Or maybe run it at the same ratio 40:40, but have one pulley on a slip nub with a centering spring. Build mechanical stops to let the pulley turn to lock, but stop the inner hub a set distance or degrees prior to full lock.

Are you talking about the sensor mounted at the very bottom of the steering column?

I can see some of it on my STS through the hole next to the right side suspension, not sure how clear I can get it....
 
I knew it was either going to be you with a smartass comment toward Bob or Bob making a smartass comment telling me to slowdown as the first reply... :thumbup:
:shocked: What'd I do now? :gaah:

Seriously; if you're gonna grab a handful from a dead stop with a turn on your mind; get your weight inboard!! :thumbup:
 
Yes; it is... But it also isn't necessary to wear a frown all of the time... :D

:shocked: Sorry... :shocked:

And I have tried to offer some useful direction and input in this conversation... :opps:


I for one love your useful directions. :thumbup:
