Looking for steering wheel angle info (2021 CX-5)

[unstoppable]

Hello everyone,

I want to read the steering wheel angle of my Mazda CX-5 (2021) by connecting to the OBD connector. However, I haven't found any standard OBD PID that provides this information.

I understand that I can log the raw data streamed on the CAN bus and try to extract it from there. For this, I need to know where exactly to look for the steering wheel angle value.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get this data?

Thank you!

Hello @unstoppable and welcome to Mazdas247 ... You've got questions? ... We've got answers lol.

I pulled all PID's from my FORscan related to the Electronically Controlled Power Steering Unit (EPS) and just did a seach through all modules for "angle" for you ...

EPS

"Angle" search

Idunno if the OBDii system you are using can access all the modules but you should have the PID's you want listed above

Just curious, what's your project?

This is what is displayed using the OBD Fusion app on my iPhone along with a generic obd2 to WiFi adapter. I also had to purchase the enhanced Mazda plug-in at $15 for single model year

Thank you for your response and check!
I understand that I can get the values via dedicated software that decodes the data.
Is there a way to parse this data and obtain the steering wheel angle myself through a USB connection? I want to input these values into my software in real time to predict the vehicle's location.
