  Q: How to remove the Steering Angle Sensor on Toyota Solara?

  A:

  A proper removal process of the Steering Angle Sensor begins with studying the safety notices that come with the service operations. Waiting for 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable to the negative terminal will prevent Air Bags from deploying but initialization procedures may be needed when reconnecting the cable. Your next step should be to position the front wheels exactly opposite each other before returning power to the cable. Also normalize the front tires and the Steering Wheel. Begin by taking out the No. 2 Steering Wheel Cover which is followed by removing the No. 3 Steering Wheel Cover after which you should remove the Steering Pad. You must take away the Steering Wheel Assembly and also the Steering Lower Column Cover with the Steering Column Cover. Taking out the steering angle sensor from the spiral cable follows the last step in the removal process of the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly with Steering Angle Sensor.

  Q: How to service the steering angle sensor on Toyota Solara?

  A:

  Service of the steering angle sensor starts by disconnecting the negative battery terminal and properly aligning the front wheels straight ahead. After removing the Steering Wheel cover lower No.2 and No.3 you should proceed to the horn button assembly before extracting the steering wheel assembly. Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021) enables removal of the steering column cover lower before removing the steering column cover along with the spiral cable sub-assembly to access the steering sensor by disconnecting its connector while extracting it through pressing the two claws. Installation starts with putting in the steering sensor followed by its connector attachment while maintaining the front wheels at a straight alignment. First install the spiral cable sub-assembly and accurately position the cable before putting back the steering wheel assembly. The vehicle needs both the battery's negative terminal reconnection and replacement of the horn button assembly before checking for correct operation of the horn button assembly and SRS warning light system. The procedure requires initialization as reconnecting the negative battery terminal requires the initialization of other systems.
