• Q: How to service the Steering Angle Sensor with VSC on 2006 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: The first step for servicing the Steering Angle Sensor with VSC requires users to disconnect the negative cable from the battery terminal while waiting 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag activation. Begin installation by facing forward the front wheels of the vehicle then remove the items listed successively: Steering Wheel Cover Lower No. 2, Steering Wheel Cover Lower No. 3 and the Steering Pad Assembly followed by the Steering Wheel Assembly and the Steering Column Cover Lower before setting back the Steering Column Cover Upper. The Spiral Cable along with the Steering Sensor need removal after claw fitting number 6 is released. Begin the installation process by placing the Steering Sensor on the Spiral Cable where all claws should engage nicely without causing any damage. Reinstall the Spiral Cable while keeping it centered before adding the sequence of components beginning with Steering Column Cover Upper and finishing with Steering Column Cover Lower and all other listed parts. Reconnect the cable to the negative terminal while torqueing it with 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf) and check the SRS warning light functionality and the Steering Pad Assembly.
