2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Gap IID Tool Steering angle sensor reset

I am trying to find how to reset the steering angle sensor on my Puma 2.4. I have a GAP IID Tool BT G3 purchased from BAS, but I seem to get very limited information when I enter Car config.
The app connects to the tool fine, but when I select Car config I get "CCF wil be Loaded"

and I select continue.
I then get "Confirmed List"

which I select and the only ECUs that show are IPC-Instrument Pack and VIM-Immobilizer and obviously neither of these show any engine configs or ABS configs.

Am I missing something, have I got a fault on the IID tool or, most likely, is it me being thick?
Btw, the reason I'm looking at the SAS sensor is I regularly get the ABS kicking in sometimes with the TC light when turning right and pulling away at relatively low speeds in 1st/2nd/3rd gears. I know this has been covered on various threads on here and as far as I can read this is my next check as the abs sensors all seem to be reporting ok from each wheel.
Apologies if this has been covered previously, I'm new to the vehicle, the tool and the forum.
Thanking you in anticipation.

There is no steering angle sensor on 2.4...

Only fitted to the 15MY Defenders with the Bosch ABS setup.

Thanks Ian, it was always going to be my mistake!
Although, is it correct that the only ECUs in car config are IPC and VIM?

Thanks again

You should have PCM, IPC and ABS... but i've never used a GAP tool.

Your Defender is fitted with the earlier Wabco set up, which apart from Shuttle Valve and Pump issues is normally quite reliable.

I'd be checking all the wheel bearings for excess movement, and I'd reset all the sensor clearances. As intermittent faults are often casued by the sensors being on the limit of distance between the reluctor ring.

You could try giving all 4 sensors a gentle tap to ensure they are pushed in far enough - no need to go mad and smack them with a lump hammer, but a gentle tap to ensure they are pushed in enough is fine.

Great, thanks mate, all good information and much appreciated, I'll have a play with sensors next. I was probably just trying the easy bits first without getting jacks and spanners out!

No need to get the jack out or wheels off... are quite accessable. Just give them a gentle tap down with a little hammer. IRB

yep, just climbed underneath and checked sensors, you're absolutely right - the front nearside visibly drove home about 1mm or so after a tap with a nylon mallet.
Fingers crossed that might be it, won't know until a test drive tomorrow, but thanks again for that bit of advice that may have saved a lot of pain and expense.
I hope not to be too much of a regular burden on this site, but its great to know there are people out there willing to share their Knowledge.
Cheers
