Position Sensor

Inserting a locating pin should be part of the new sensor purchase when you install it; you will need to buy a new sensor if your replacement sensor does not have a locating pin. A new sensor needs to be ordered if locating pins are not included. Sensor replacement demands that you place a locating pin beforehand since losing sensor position will lead to sensor disposal. Install the steering column anti-rotation pin of type j 42640 first before starting your procedure. This step requires the wheels in a straight position. The pin size requirement falls between 1.0 and 2.0 mm. Remove the intermediate Steering Shaft along with all necessary electrical connectors from the steering column. Pull the Steering Angle Sensor out from its position. When assembling the new sensor slide it into position and remove the locating pin before reconnecting electrical connectors and the intermediate Steering Shaft to the steering column. Use tools to eliminate the anti-rotation pin (J 42640).

Start the process of Steering Angle Sensor replacement by locking the Steering Column through an access hole under the lower trim cover with tool (J 42640). You need to check that any new sensor includes an installed pin before purchase but make a sensor replacement if your sensor doesn't have a pin. Return to the store and place a new sensor order unless the sensor arrives with its pin already installed. Do not push or pull on the sensor and bearing assembly in either side-to-side direction. The sensor needs a centering pin installed before removal from the Steering Shaft to maintain the sensor's alignment position or else you will need to discard it. Perform the following steps to replace the sensor: begin by taking out the intermediate shaft from the Steering Column shaft and use a suitable tool to detach the connector by pulling it down around the right side of the Steering Column for better access. The pin diameter needs to stay between 1.0-2.0 mm. Remove the sensor while it is positioned outside the Steering Shaft. When installing a fresh sensor make sure it comes with a pin already attached; otherwise return it for replacement. Start by sliding the sensor onto the Steering Shaft while removing the pin when necessary and following up by connecting the sensor connector and reinstalling the intermediate Steering Shaft to the Steering Column shaft. Complete the procedure by taking out (J 42640) from the lower trim cover.

Use a suitable tool to pull it down around the right side of the steering column for better access.

Ensure the FRONT of the sensor has a foam ring, a pin hole for the centering pin, and a flush rotor flange cuff.
