  A: Start the replacement of the steering angle sensor by following restraint systems service precautions and then removing the battery negative terminal. Start by positioning the front wheels directly in front and then detach the steering wheel cover from lower No.3 followed by lower No.2. Carry out the horn button assembly and steering wheel assembly removal process using Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021). Proceed with removing the steering column cover upper and then the spiral cable sub-assembly along with the turn signal switch assembly. The procedure for removing the steering sensor requires users to disconnect its connector followed by unclipping two claws before removing the component. You should begin with the installation of the steering sensor before connecting its connector. The installation of the turn signal switch assembly should be followed by a spiral cable sub-assembly evaluation for connector damage or connector scratching as well as spiral cable sub-assembly damage which requires replacement with a new part. Follow this sequence to install the spiral cable sub-assembly and then add the steering column cover upper to which you must attach the steering wheel assembly as well as the horn button assembly before installing the steering wheel covers lower No.2 and No.3. Conclude the task by inspecting the SRS warning light then executing the steering angle sensor zero point calibration and VSC sensor signal check.
