• Q: How to replace the Steering Angle Sensor on 2001 Toyota Highlander?

  A: Service requirements involving restraint systems must be observed before disconnecting the battery negative terminal. The front wheels need to be aligned straight ahead before removing the horn button assembly [45130/98-75] and the steering wheel assembly [45100/98-75]. Extract the steering column lower cover from the first step and afterward remove the spiral cable sub-assembly [84306/98-162] before taking out the steering sensor [89245B]. Jacobs follows with the installation of the new steering sensor [89245B] while keeping the front wheels in a straight position before reinstalling the spiral cable sub-assembly [84306/98-162] and the steering column lower cover. The installer should center the spiral cable as a step before they reattach the steering wheel assembly [45100/98-75].
