Removal Procedure

    IMPORTANT: If replacing the steering wheel position sensor, the new sensor MUST come with a locating pin installed. If a locating pin is not installed, return and reorder a new steering wheel position sensor. Do not apply force to the steering wheel position sensor in a sideways direction.
    When reusing the steering wheel position sensor you must install a locating pin before removing it from the steering column. If the steering wheel position sensor loses its correct position it must be discarded.
    The locating pin diameter must be in the range of 1.0-2.0 mm.
