  Q: How to replace the steering angle sensor on Scion xA?

  A:

  The first step for steering angle sensor replacement is to follow air bag systems service precautions and disconnect the battery negative terminal. The wheel alignment should be front-facing before beginning the disassembly process which includes the horn button and steering wheel assemblies as well as column cover and spiral cable subsystems. Follow the correct procedure for positioning the four claw fittings until you can remove the steering sensor from the spiral cable. Afterwards, install the new steering sensor onto the spiral cable by properly securing the claw to prevent damage to the components. Set the center front wheel into position before replacing both the spiral cable sub-assembly and centering the spiral cable. Afterward reassemble the steering wheel assembly while also adjusting the steering wheel center point before adding the horn button assembly. Complete an inspection of both the horn button assembly and SRS warning light before executing VSC system calibration. The ABS warning light and VSC warning light should be checked during testing and inspection of both antilock brakes and traction control systems.

  Q: How to service and repair the steering angle sensor on Scion xA?

  A:

  The service and repair process of the steering angle sensor requires specific safety measures to follow. After disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal users need to wait 90 seconds before moving on to prevent the Air Bag and seat belt pretensioners from activating. Proceed with wheel alignment before eliminating the steering pad assembly as well as the steering wheel assembly and steering column cover and spiral cable sub-assembly and steering sensor by loosening the 4 claw fittings. Install the steering sensor onto the spiral cable by placing it properly where the claw fits without damaging the components. Set the front wheel to central alignment and position the spiral cable sub-assembly before reinstating the steering column cover along with the steering wheel assembly and steering pad assembly. The negative battery terminal cable should be reconnected before examining the steering pad assembly. A systematic initialization procedure must start after joining the battery cable because select systems need this process. Perform a check of the SRS warning light and then complete VSC system calibration as well as inspect both ABS and VSC warning lights.
