steering angle sensor

Does CX-5 have steering angle sensor?

If so, is there a reset procedure available?

I don't know how it is on this vehicle, but on a VW, you just have to drive a certain length, a couple of feet.

I have an alldata account which confirms there is in fact a steering angle sensor, but there is only a procedure describing how to diagnose whether it is working. No mention of resetting or recalibrating.

Somewhere on here a poster had the dealer adjust as I think his car was pulling to one side.

That doesn't make sense.

The angle sensor is only an input to the ECU or a control module, typically only used for TC related functions. It doesn't have any effect on alignment or pulling.
I don't know anything about calibrating one, but I would imagine it is a sensitive measure, seeing as the sensor operates at a degree of sensitivity.

I think the steering sensor in this electrical system also allows the steering system to provide an "on center" feel for steering "feedback". If you are on a perfectly level surface and set a curve and turn the steering loose it should move to the straight ahead position. Some of that is from caster angle but I think the steering angle sensor is also involved.

From service manual:

Constantly indicates 0 until the steering wheel angle neutral position determination by the DSC HU/CM is completed.

The steering wheel angle neutral position determination by the DSC HU/CM is completed when the vehicle is driven in a straight line at a speed of 20 km/h or more for several seconds.
