2006 Scion xA Steering Angle Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the steering angle sensor on 2006 Scion xA?

  A: The service and repair process of the steering angle sensor requires specific safety measures to follow. After disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal users need to wait 90 seconds before moving on to prevent the Air Bag and seat belt pretensioners from activating. Proceed with wheel alignment before eliminating the steering pad assembly as well as the steering wheel assembly and steering column cover and spiral cable sub-assembly and steering sensor by loosening the 4 claw fittings. Install the steering sensor onto the spiral cable by placing it properly where the claw fits without damaging the components. Set the front wheel to central alignment and position the spiral cable sub-assembly before reinstating the steering column cover along with the steering wheel assembly and steering pad assembly. The negative battery terminal cable should be reconnected before examining the steering pad assembly. A systematic initialization procedure must start after joining the battery cable because select systems need this process. Perform a check of the SRS warning light and then complete VSC system calibration as well as inspect both ABS and VSC warning lights.
