Live Valve Steering Angle Sensor

[HondaTech]

Anybody with an Live Valve (2 or 4 seat) that have had issues with their Steering Angle Sensor?

If so I'd like to PM you for more information about what became of the situation.

I have a 4 seater live last trip while turning on pavement my power steering went out. Only time it has happened and not happened since.

Steering angle sensor issue

I installed a set of billet tie rods and centered my steering wheel after setting the toe. Now after a mile of riding in sport mode i get a shock warning light. Took it to the dealership had them scan it and came up with a 15 -15 code SAS angle code they re set it. Long story short it came back...

I'm looking for answers about this sensor if you have any information?

I read the sensor going bad makes the shock warning light come on? If so I’m in that problem now with 50 miles on it.

And this is why I'll be sticking with conventional shocks...

It’s under warranty right?

Yea they have it. It’s the steering angle sensor. 2 week back order on it.

Did that fix it?

 

[JonCarp]

Still hasn’t come in😩

Any progress?

 

[JonCarp]

Came in but didn’t fix the issue. Ordered two more sensors.

Jon,
I see a recurring theme on the net concerning LV warning lights...

Light (or lights) come on.
Dealer tries all kinds of diagnostics and repairs to no avail.
Owner or Dealer finds loose, corroded or broken ground.
Owner or Dealer fixes ground.
Problem solved.

One even had a broken off ground bolt in the engine that wasn't extracted and made the new ground bolt feel tight but the bolt wasn't actually clamping the wires.

Have you or your dealer checked all the grounds? Make sure there is no corrosion and that they are all clamped down properly and that the wires don't move?

I will say on my machine after reading several had luck with checking the grounds I checked the one under the driver's seat (which had a small amount of corrosion - I cleaned & re-tightened), tightened the ground on the engine, and snugged the battery terminals after my previous ride. My light was on after about 8 miles on this trip

FYI - I was informed by one LiveValve owner that the issue with his was that he had a shock partially loose it's nitrogen charge

yes going through a fight with Honda and a dealer right now. Trying to deny warranty claim.

They replace the entire wiring set up for my shocks. Awesome ride.
