Steering Wheel, Removing And Installing: Removing
Applies to vehicles equipped with dynamic steering:
Before the steering wheel can be removed from the steering column, the steering wheel must be in the exact horizontal using the :VAS6458 . Mount the new steering wheel so that it is horizontal using the :VAS6458 .
After doing this step, the Steering Angle Sensor -G85- for setting the steering wheel position must be checked. While doing this, select the appropriate measured values block in the Steering Column Electronics Control Module -J527- in on board diagnostics. If the displayed value is > 0.5°, then the Steering Angle Sensor -G85- must be calibrated again and the dynamic steering must be adapted, by starting the correct program using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in Guided Functions .
