2009 Toyota Highlander Steering Angle Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the steering angle sensor and ensure proper function of the SRS warning light on 2009 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The installation of the steering angle sensor requires the user to position the 2 locating pins correctly before securing the sensor to the spiral cable through the engagement of all 6 claws. Proceed to first install the spiral cable with the steering angle sensor then attach the steering column cover. The spiral cable requires adjustment before installing the steering wheel assembly and checking the steering wheel center point. After the steering pad installation you must add the lower No. 3 and lower No. 2 steering wheel covers followed by another inspection of the pad. The final step requires connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal while maintaining a frontwheel-straight-ahead position both during and after cable connection. You should check for system initialization requirements when reconnecting cables because some systems need this step. Before ending the inspection process check the SRS warning light to verify its correct functioning.
