2006 Chevrolet Malibu Steering Angle Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on 2006 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Customers need to recognize the sensor type by using provided illustration images before removing it. The sensor connector's FRONT end faces the right side of the transaxle. No sensor centering is necessary before removal when using existing equipment again. Separate the sensor connector then extract the sensor by removing it from the adapter and bearing assembly. An alignment mark should be made on the flush rotor flange cuff before sensor removal to avoid install time misalignment issues. The sensor installation requires a front-facing foam ring together with a pin hole for the centering pin and the front rotor flange cuff to be level with the surface. New sensors arrive with a pin which must stay in position until the sensor reaches its correct placement. Install the sensor by aligning it to the steering shaft afterwards slot it into the adapter and bearing assembly before connecting its components. A pin slot faces the FRONT of the sensor and pairs with a centering pin while a rotor flange cuff maintains flush contact. Four foam rings complete this configuration. An alignment mark rounds out the sensor features at the FRONT. The BACK side of the sensor incorporates double D flats along with a foam ring while carrying an alignment tab. When using an existing sensor make sure to line up the marks on the flush rotor flange cuff before adding it into position. For brand new sensors follow the same installation steps while maintaining pin contact until the sensor reaches its installed position. The sensor front reveals a pin hole beside a raised rotor flange cuff along with an alignment mark. The BACK shows two major flat areas with an alignment indicator. All installation procedures must cover all sensor types including careful alignment steps until both connection points are secure.
