Abstract
A method is disclosed for generating a steering angle signal for a motor vehicle by processing a signal produced by a steering angle sensor to eliminate erroneous steering angle signal values caused by a floating state of a potentiometer included in the sensor to output the steering angle signal value corresponding to the rotational angle of a rotatable steering handle shaft where the erroneous signal values occur at specific angular positions of the handle shaft where the potentiometer is in the floating state.
