Turn signal cancelation - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

VTECaddict · 04-12-2012, 12:21 AM

Does anyone know if it's possible to change how far you have to turn the wheel before the turn signal cancels?

For example, when i signal to enter a turn lane at an intersection, i turn into the turn lane (turn the wheel maybe 15 degrees and back), my signal will turn off and i have to signal again.

I've driven loaners and it doesn't seem to be as sensitive as my car is. Not sure if its software controlled or hardware. I'm thinking software since the whole turn signal stalk is electronic.

I have 3x turn signal activated. That's not what I'm talking about though.

Your talking about making the SZL (steering angle sensor) calibration more narrow.

Don't think that it is possible for us sorry man

I don't have this problem at all. Might want to try recalibrating your steering wheel angle sensor.

I wonder what has changed form 05/06 to newer build dates then. Because all of the loaners I've driven don't have as sensitive turn signal cancellation as mine does.

Could definitely be a newer SZL.
