Position Sensor

For Steering Angle Sensor centering start by identifying the sensor type through illustrations then disconnect it. Record the sensor type while confirming the right side location of the front facing sensor connector. Centering is unnecessary before sensor removal when the existing sensor will be reused. Before removal detach the sensor connector then take out the sensor piece from the adapter and bearing assembly. During sensor installation you must create an alignment mark on the flush rotor flange cuff before removal to secure correct alignment. The fresh sensor you buy will have its built-in pin already installed. Keep the install pin at the sensor until the sensor completes full sensor seating. Pull the sensor into alignment with the Steering Shaft and push it into position with the bearing assembly until the connector locks into place. The sensor's front section includes a foam ring with a pin hole and a flushed rotor flange cuff along with an alignment mark. The back portion displays double d flats together with foam ring and alignment tab installation. For each sensor installation follow the alignment steps until the sensor fits entirely into position. New sensors that lack the pin need an immediate replacement with an alternative sensor.

Before centering the Steering Angle Sensor technicians must first guide the vehicle wheel to direct straight ahead positioning. They should then use either a Steering Column anti-rotation pin, a Steering Column lock, or a strap to keep the wheel steady before they begin work. Wheel rotation should be prevented to protect the sir system from damage. Steering column disconnection along with intermediate shaft(s) and steering gear operations must be performed without wheel rotation or tire movement to prevent sir coil assembly de-centering. Prior to sensor removal the technician must properly identify the Steering Angle Sensor type and place the connector to face right from their front view position. Reusing the existing sensor eliminates the requirement for centering procedures. Lift out both the adapter and the bearing assembly's sensor and its connector. Installation requires bringing the sensor into alignment with the Steering Shaft and correctly connecting the connector. Prior to sensor installation you should perform alignment of marked surfaces on either the flush rotor flange cuff or on the raised rotor flange cuff then maintain this position until the sensor reaches its final position. When installing a new sensor you must wait until the installation is complete before removing the pin. The sensor requires careful installation where installers need to identify three features: pin holes for centering and alignment marks and foam rings. Maintain the exact operating sequence for every sensor type while keeping sensors aligned correctly from setup to deployment.

Before centering the Steering Angle Sensor always double-check that the vehicle has straight wheels and implement a steering anti-rotation pin or column lock or strap to keep the wheel static to shield the sir system from breakdown. Steering column removal must occur together with intermediate shafts and steering gear disconnection but the wheel movement or tire position adjustment must remain static otherwise the sir coil centering will be lost. To fix an un-centered sir coil operate with the correct procedure for sir coil centering. Check the sensor type before removing it to establish proper connector positioning according to viewing it from the sensor's front. The centering process becomes unnecessary whenever you choose to reuse your existing sensor. Extract the adapter with both its connector and sensor from the bearing assembly. During installation position the sensor along the Steering Shaft while making sure the connector remains correctly connected. When working with a new sensor maintain control of the pin until the sensor reaches its final position. Flushing rotor flange cuffs should obtain alignment marks before sensor reuse to maintain proper orientation during sensor reinstallation. Specific features of the sensor should include pin holes for centering and alignment marks and foam rings which need to be documented when removing and installing the sensor to maintain proper functioning.

Begin Steering Angle Sensor service by identifying its type using provided illustrations prior to sensor removal. Customers should locate the sensor connector's front section on the adapter's right side. No centering process is needed for existing sensor use before conducting its removal. First disconnect the sensor connector then extract the sensor from its position between the adapter and bearing assembly. The sensor's reinstallation requires marking the flush rotor flange cuff area for realignment purposes since improper sensor placement can occur without proper cuff alignment. When installing new sensors they should come equipped with pins that must be retained until the sensor insertion. Keep the pin on the sensor until complete sensor insertion. Drive the sensor along the Steering Shaft before mounting it inside the adapter and bearing assembly where connection to the sensor terminals can be made. The front of the sensor contains a foam ring together with a pin hole and a flushed rotor flange cuff with an alignment mark to facilitate installation. Reinstall the sensor only if it has existing alignment marks on the flush rotor flange cuff which need to be precisely aligned before assembly. Each sensor type needs the installation process repeated while noting key features like the raised rotor flange cuff alongside its respective alignment marks for correct placement. Always check alignment before inserting the sensor into the adapter and bearing assembly because failure to do so may require a fresh sensor replacement.

Beginning the repair process requires determining the Steering Angle Sensor type by examining provided illustrations after which sensor collection starts. After sensor identification check that the connector face points toward the right. The current sensor requires no centering operations prior to its removal for reuse. Unplug the sensor connector and extract the sensor out of the adapter-bearing assembly. Installation requires positioning the front of the sensor with foam ring and pin hole centering functionality while setting the rotor flange cuff to be flush with the surface. Before removing the sensor for reuse make a reference point on the rotor flange cuff so the device stays aligned during subsequent installations. A new sensor requires leaving the pin in place unless proper sensor seating occurs. Follow the Steering Shaft alignment for the installation process to mount the sensor into the adapter and bearing assembly before linking the sensor across its interfaces. A pin hole exists on the sensor front alongside a raised rotor flange cuff and an alignment marker. Check that sensor alignment marks match up properly during installment followed by another sensor deployment with detailed note taking of alignment tab observations and double d flat detection on sensor backs. The installation process requires checking pin hole positions carefully alongside maintaining correct alignment marks for correct alignment.
