Start by reading all precautions because this will help you safely disconnect the Steering Angle Sensor and its components. Disconnected the cable from the battery negative terminal and waited 90 seconds to avoid Air Bags activating. Adjust the front wheels to be parallel before connecting the steering sensor cable. Reconnect the battery cable slowly while keeping the front tires and steering wheel in their direct position. Unplug the No. 2 and No. 3 Steering Wheel Cover Lower pieces before taking off the Steering Pad. Take off both the Steering Wheel Assembly and the Steering Column Cover pieces next. Unfasten all the claws then withdraw the steering angle sensor from its position on the spiral cable.

The first step when servicing the Steering Angle Sensor consists of reading the Restraint Systems; Service Precautions thoroughly. Disconnect the negative terminal cable from the battery while waiting for 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag activation. Straight wheel alignment must exist before cable connection because appropriate wheel position controls the outcome. Rephrase the following sentence. The service sequence begins with the No. 2 Steering Wheel Cover Lower followed by the No. 3 Steering Wheel Cover Lower then the Steering Pad and Steering Wheel Assembly before installing the Steering Column Cover and extracting the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly with Steering Angle Sensor. A proper procedure requires owners to disengage the claws before taking out the Steering Angle Sensor. During installation handle the Steering Angle Sensor by its locating pins and engage the claws to mount it onto the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly. Begin the reinstallation with the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly that incorporates the Steering Angle Sensor and end with the Steering Column Cover. After adjusting the Spiral Cable you must reinstall both components of the Steering Wheel Assembly before checking the Steering Wheel Center Point. The vehicle requires the installation of the Steering Pad alongside the No. 2 Steering Wheel Cover Lower and the No. 3 Steering Wheel Cover Lower. The cable connection to the negative terminal should be completed while checking both the SRS Warning Light and Steering Pad.

The first installation step requires fitting the Steering Angle Sensor before moving on to install the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly. After installing the Steering Angle Sensor a person should install the Upper Steering Column Cover followed by the Lower Steering Column Cover. A spiral cable installation adjustment must occur prior to putting in the steering wheel assembly. After you install the Steering Pad you should proceed with Lower No. 3 Steering Wheel Cover then finish with Lower No. 2 Steering Wheel Cover installation. Attach the cable to the negative side of the battery while keeping in mind that system initialization could become necessary after reconnecting some systems. The last step requires checking the SRS warning light to verify proper system operation.

Uninstalling the Steering Angle Sensor begins with terminating battery cable connection to the negative terminal then waiting 90 seconds until the SRS system is deactivated but initialization might be needed after restored connection. The wheels on the front of the vehicle must be aligned in a straight direction. Start the procedure by taking off the lower No. 3 steering wheel cover then follow with removal of the lower No. 2 cover. Start by completing the removal of the steering pad before taking off both the steering wheel assembly and the steering pad. The procedure continues with the removal of lower steering column cover and upper steering column cover. The spiral cable sub-assembly must be separated first before detach the steering angle sensor where six claws need to be removed.
