Before removing the steering sensor, you must remove three components: instrument cluster finish panel, steering column cover, spiral cable sub-assembly. The technician should replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one if they find scratches or cracks on the connector or cracks, dents or chipping of the spiral cable sub-assembly.
