A steering angle sensor includes a magnetized body coupled through a gear to a steering shaft so as to rotate with rotation of the steering shaft, a magnetic sensing device for detecting a magnetic field generated by the magnetized body, a signal processing device for detecting a direction of the magnetic field based on the detected magnetic field and for detecting a steering angle of the steering shaft based on the direction of the magnetic field, a correlation signal output sensor mounted on the vehicle to output a correlation signal correlated with the steering angle, and a signal check circuit for determining whether the steering angle is valid or invalid based on comparison between the steering angle and the correlation signal.
