• Q: How to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor on 2006 Toyota Prius?

  A: When servicing the Steering Angle Sensor start by disconnecting the negative battery cable then waiting 90 seconds or more before it becomes safe to proceed with work. Start by removing the steering wheel cover lowers in sequence No. 2 then No. 3. The next step includes taking off the steering pad assembly followed by the steering wheel assembly that requires the removal of the tilt lever bracket afterward. Move onto the steering column cover and spiral cable sub-assembly. The removal of the steering angle sensor requires detachment of its six claws. The installation requires proper alignment of the locating pins followed by claw attachment prior to mounting the sensor onto the spiral cable. Before fixing the spiral cable sub-assembly perform an inspection and then proceed to install the steering column cover and position the spiral cable and install the tilt lever bracket. Before final installation of the steering wheel assembly coupled with the steering pad assembly, the center point of the steering wheel needs to be checked and testing of the steering pad assembly must occur separately. To complete the procedure the negative cable needs connection before running system initialization on systems affected by the cable disconnect and verifying the SRS warning light status.
