A servo sector on a disk is read via first and second readers that both span two or more user data tracks. The servo sector has a crosstrack width that spans the two or more user data tracks. The first reader provides a first signal based on detecting a total longitudinal field of the servo sector. The second reader provides a second signal based on detecting a total perpendicular field of the servo sector. A position error of the first and second readers is detected using. A value of the first signal can be used to detect a position error, detect a track-to-track phase error, and/or detect a Gray code error of a track ID field of the servo sector.
