2003 Cadillac CTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor on 2003 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The service procedure for Steering Angle Sensor starts by locking the Steering Wheel with an anti-rotation pin or lock or strap to stop wheel rotation while keeping the front wheels directly facing forward. Disable the steering column and steering gear and intermediate shafts while maintaining both the Steering Wheel and tires in their original position to prevent sir coil assembly un-centering. Confirmed the Steering Wheel position sensor type while following step-by-step instructions to maintain the sensor connector front orientation facing right. The existing sensor requires no centering operation during its removal process. Disassemble the adapter and bearing assembly by removing its sensor and connector. To install the sensor line it up with the Steering Shaft but position the front section so it has a foam ring and a pin hole for centering purposes and a flush rotor flange cuff. Create an alignment mark on the rotor flange cuff during sensor reuse. Connect the sensor connector to the device while maintaining the positioning of the alignment mark until complete sensor insertion. A new sensor arrives with a built-in pin for installation purposes. You must keep the pin in place during sensor seating. Resolve each sensor installation with the same methodology while logging sensor-specific characteristics including raised and flush rotor cuff features and maintaining correct connector placement throughout all operations.
