Removal Procedure
- Verify the type of steering wheel position sensor.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor (1) connector will be on the right.
- Remove the connector from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor (1) from the adapter and bearing assembly.
- To install the sensor, proceed to step 1 in the installation section.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
- A foam ring (2)
- A pin hole (1) for centering the pin-Note the location of the pin hole.
- A flush rotor flange cuff (4)
- Make an alignment mark on the flush rotor flange cuff (3).
- Remove the connector from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing assembly.
- To install the sensor, proceed to step 5 in the installation procedure.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
- A raised rotor flange cuff (3)
- An alignment mark (2) on the rotor flange cuff (3) for installation
- A pin hole (1) for the centering pin-Note the location of the pin hole.
- Remove the connector from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing assembly.
- To install the sensor, proceed to step 9 in the installation procedure.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
- A raised rotor flange cuff (3)
- An alignment mark (2) on the rotor flange cuff (3) for installation
- A pin hole (1) for the centering pin-Note location of the pin hole.
- A sensor clip in FRONT of the sensor
- Remove the connector from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor clip from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing assembly.
- To install the sensor, proceed to step 13 in the installation procedure.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
- A flush rotor flange cuff (3)
- A pin hole (1) for the centering pin-Note the location of the pin hole.
- An alignment mark (2) on the flush rotor flange cuff (3) for installation
- Remove the connector from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing assembly.
- To install the sensor, proceed to step 17 in the installation procedure.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
- A flush rotor flange cuff (4)
- A pin hole (2) for the centering pin-Note the location of the pin hole.
- An alignment mark (3) on the flush rotor flange cuff (4) for installation
- A foam ring (1)
- Remove the connector from the sensor.
- Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing assembly.
- To install the sensor, proceed to step 21 in the installation procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Identify the type of steering wheel position sensor from the illustrations shown BEFORE removing the sensor from the steering column. Once you have identified the steering wheel position sensor, follow the instructions listed in the removal procedure.
IMPORTANT:
If reusing the existing sensor, you do not have to align the sensor before removal. Centering is not required when it is time to reinstall.
IMPORTANT:
If reusing the existing sensor, you must make an alignment mark on the rotor flange cuff (3) before removing the sensor. Failure to do so will cause misalignment when installing the sensor. A new sensor will be required if misaligned.
