• Q: How to replace the Steering Angle Sensor on 2005 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: Starting the replacement of the Steering Angle Sensor requires users to disconnect the battery negative terminal and confirm that steering wheels are aligned straight ahead. The installation requires removing steering wheel cover lower No.3 followed by steering wheel cover lower No.2 then the horn button assembly and steering wheel assembly using Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021). Uninstall the steering column cover UPR along with the spiral cable sub-assembly and the turn signal switch assembly. The steering sensor removal requires disconnecting its connector followed by removing two claws that permit sensor extraction. The new steering sensor installation requires placing the sensor first followed by the connector attachment. The turn signal switch assembly becomes ready to reinstall while the spiral cable sub-assembly demands replacement with new parts when this sub-assembly shows connector scratches or cracks or demonstrates connector or spiral cable sub-assembly breakage or denting or chipping. Proceed with installing the front wheel crank in its original direction before placing the spiral cable sub-assembly and steering column cover UPR together with the steering wheel assembly and horn button assembly and steering wheel cover lower No.2 and No.3. Complete the inspection of the SRS warning light followed by steering angle sensor zero point calibration and VSC sensor signal check.
