2009 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove the Steering Angle Sensor on 2009 Toyota Tundra?

  A: A successful removal of the Steering Angle Sensor depends first on disconnecting the negative battery cable terminal while allowing a minimum of 90 seconds for Air Bag and safety pretensioner deactivation. The process begins with switching off the ignition switch followed by waiting 90 seconds for memory recording before removing the cable connection. Installation procedures exist for systems that need initialization following a reconnection. The next installation process requires setting the front wheels to a direct forward position. The service technician should first remove the lower No. 3 steering wheel cover, then follow it by removing the lower No. 2 steering wheel cover. The correct order for component removal includes taking off the steering pad followed by the steering wheel assembly and then both the lower steering column cover and the upper steering column cover. End the process by taking out the Steering Angle Sensor followed by the spiral cable sub-assembly. Special Service Tool: 09961-24510.
