2004 Cadillac CTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the Steering Angle Sensor on 2004 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The process starts with detecting the sensor type by utilizing the accompanying illustrations. The sensor connector faces forward from the right side. The existing sensor requires no centering steps before its removal for reuse. Use tape to disconnect the sensor connector then extract the sensor unit from the adapter and bearing assembly. The flush rotor flange cuff requires an alignment mark to prevent sensor misalignment when reinstalling if using the same sensor. Sensor alignment with the steering shaft must occur before the installation into the adapter and bearing assembly while maintaining proper connector attachment. The FRONT section includes three components: a foam ring, a pin hole to guide the centering pin, and a flush rotor flange cuff that requires an alignment mark. When using a sensor for a second time ensure you align front marks on the flush rotor flange cuff before mounting and maintain this alignment until sensor installation is complete. A freshly installed sensor arrives with the built-in pin ready for use. Users should wait until seating the sensor before they remove its pin. Installation of the sensor requires double D flats on one side and a foam ring together with an alignment tab to achieve correct assembly. Follow the exact same alignment methodology together with the installation sequence for each sensor where you log the relevant features to help with correct sensor placement.
