• Q: How to replace the steering angle sensor on 2006 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Begin by following the Restraints Systems and Service Precautions before starting the replacement of the steering angle sensor. Detach the negative battery cable with the wheels oriented in a straight position. Use Special Service Tool : 09950-50013 (00951-05010, 00952-05010, 00953-05020, 00954-05021) to remove the steering wheel cover lower elements No.2 and No.3 and after that disconnect the horn button assembly and steering wheel assembly. To proceed with the replacement, first lower the steering column cover as well as the steering column cover and afterward separate the 6 claws holding the spiral cable sub-assembly and the steering sensor. The technician must attach the new steering sensor to the spiral cable so the claws establish a secure grip that avoids any harm to the components. You should examine the spiral cable sub-assembly before you reposition the front wheels to their straight ahead position for installing the sub-assembly correctly. Start by mounting the steering wheel assembly together with the horn button assembly before inspecting the horn button assembly. Apply the battery cable to the negative terminal before inspecting the SRS warning light while initiating system operations since certain systems need initialization steps after negative cable placement.
