2008 Toyota Tacoma Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the steering angle sensor with VSC on 2008 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: The first step to install the VSC steering angle sensor requires installing the steering sensor onto the spiral cable so its claws properly lock while avoiding any damage to the components. Ensure that the front wheels face forward before proceeding. The spiral cable requires installation followed by centering operations. After installing the upper and lower steering column covers you should add the steering wheel assembly and the steering pad assembly to the vehicle. After that install the steering wheel cover beginning at lower No. 3 followed by lower No. 2. Magnetic cable connection to the negative battery terminal needs a tightness level of 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf). The last maintenance step includes testing the SRS warning light while inspecting the steering pad assembly.
