How to find Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) over the CAN Bus of an Chrysler Volt / Opel Ampera


Today I've managed to get a connection from a Opel Ampera to my Notebook over CAN. I used a "Tiny CAN II XL" with the software "busmaster".

There exist many list of CAN ID's for several cars. Sadly I haven't found the ID of the Steering Angle Sensor for an Opel Ampera. A Chrysler Volt should have the same ID's, but didn't found its ID either.

Does one of you know, on which ID I could take a look?

Reverse engineering of the CAN bus would be another way I guess. Busmaster didn't allow me much filtering. I think there aren't many more programms which work with the "Tiny CAN II XL". Just looking on the raw data by eye didn't worked so far... Any ideas how I could find the changing value and deducing the SAS with this setup?


Solution

  • As mentioned by Youtuber DanH142, who's been using a Chrysler Volt to play Mario Cart, the Steering Wheel Angle is on 0x1E5

    I've tested that with the Opel Ampera. Seems to work!
