2004 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the steering angle sensor on 2004 Scion xB?

  A: Safety first requires disconnecting the battery terminal as well as turning the front wheels directly forward before beginning replacement. The horn button assembly must be removed first while the following components need to be taken out: steering wheel assembly then steering column cover and spiral cable sub-assembly. The steering sensor should be detached from the spiral cable by releasing its four claw fittings with care. Mount the replacement steering sensor onto the spiral cable slot by securely fastening the claw without causing any destruction. Installation requires adjustment of the center front wheel before reinstallation of the spiral cable sub-assembly with spiral cable centering. After that reinstall the steering wheel assembly while checking its center steering wheel position then verify how the horn button functions. The ending steps require inspection of the SRS warning light and VSC system calibration to ensure proper operation of the ABS warning light alongside the VSC warning light.
