1. A method for calibrating and/or initializing a steering sensor of a steering system in a vehicle, the steering system comprising a steering handle and a torque sensor associated with the steering handle, the method comprising:
detecting a deflection position of the steering handle using the steering sensor;
determining a torque parameter by determining a torque for each of a plurality of different detected deflection positions of the steering handle; and
comparing the determined torque parameter with a reference parameter in order to calibrate and/or initialize the steering sensor.
