Speed Sensor

Before anything else, turn off the sir system and take the Steering Column out of the car. Remove the following pieces from the steering shaft: steering shaft seal (7), sensor retainer (6), Steering Angle Sensor (5), two lower spring retainers (4), lower bearing spring (3), lower bearing seat (2) and adapter and bearing assembly (1). To install, first attach the adapter and bearing assembly to the steering shaft, then put on the lower bearing seat, spring, two retainer clips and the Steering Angle Sensor. After that, place the sensor retainer and steering shaft seal, turn on the sir system and return the Steering Column to its original position. Always make sure the front of the sensor (1) connector is on the right side and find out the kind of sensor so you know how to remove it. For reuse, you do not have to adjust any sensor alignment before you remove it. For a new sensor, look for a pin; make sure the sensor is correctly installed before removing the pin. Lay the sensor straight against the steering shaft, connect it to the adapter and bearings and secure it with a connector. There should be a foam ring (4) in the front along with a pin hole (7) for the centering pin, a flushed rotor flange cuff (6) and an alignment mark (5) to guide the sensor's installation. If you are reusing the sensor, ensure the marks on the flange cuff are aligned as you install it and during seating of the sensor.

Service and repair of the Steering Angle Sensor require setting both front wheels to straight-ahead alignment and locking the Steering Wheel in position. First disconnect the negative Battery Cable while also disabling the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR). Begin service by removing both pieces from the upper to lower Steering Shaft junction and pulling down the lower shaft. Use an appropriate tool to disconnect the position sensor connector by pulling it down from right to left across the Steering Column. When disconnecting maintain a vertical force vector and avoid applying pressure to the sensor and bearing from side-to-side. After pulling the position sensor and bearing assembly directly from the Steering Column jacket remove the position sensor from the assembly clips. To install the position sensor first position it within the bearing assembly before you set the bearing inside the Steering Column jacket while maintaining proper alignment between the bearing notches and jacket notches without applying any side pressure. Heat the bearing jacket until it is fully seated and join the position sensor connector and securely tighten the upper nut to 62 nm (46 ft. Lbs.). Rejoin the negative Battery Cable and turn on the sir system during the final step.
