  Q: How to service the Steering Angle Sensor with VSC on Toyota Tundra?

  A:

  To work on the Steering Angle Sensor with VSC function start by taking the steering wheel pad off and set the wheels parallel to the vehicle. Use a T30 torx socket wrench to remove the steering wheel lower No. 3 and No. 2 covers then loosen the two torx screws until their grooved edges catch on the screw cases. Use your screwdriver to disconnect the Air Bag connector at the steering wheel while pulling out the wheel pad without disturbing the Air Bag wire harness. Keep the steering wheel pad in an upright position and do not dismantle the parts. Start by disconnecting the horn connector then remove the steering wheel by loosening the steering wheel set nut first while placing matchmarks between the steering wheel and main shaft assembly. A technician should use Special Service Tool 09950-50013 (part numbers 09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021) to extract the wheel. Take out the spiral cable and steering angle sensor from the steering assembly in that order. Technical assembly happens in steps opposite to disassembly.

  Q: How to remove the Steering Angle Sensor on 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.
