Optical Steering-angle Sensor: Photo-transistors

There are four photo-transistors below the light exits on the circuit board of the optical sensor of the steering column switch cluster. The photo-transistors detect the optical signals that penetrate the code disc. The photo-transistors convert the optical signals into electrical signals.
