• Q: How to replace the Steering Angle Sensor on 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Steering column anti rotation pin (J 42640) should be utilized through the access hole in the lower trim cover to lock the steering column before replacing the Steering Angle Sensor. It's essential to check new sensor devices for a preinstalled pin before sensor replacement starts. The sensor installation must stop until you order a new one with the pin. You should never apply pressure to either the sensor or the bearing assembly along their sides. The sensor's use preservation requires the installation of a pin before extraction from the steering shaft because improper centering could lead to sensor replacement. The appropriate dimensions for the pin diameter exist between 1.0mm and 2.0mm. Fifteen to twenty minutes are needed to disassemble the sensor. Begin by unscrewing the intermediate shaft from the steering column shaft and disconnect the sensor connector with a proper tool that routes down around the right side of the steering column. Remove the sensor after extracting it from the steering shaft position. To assemble the sensor you must fit it onto the steering shaft after removing its pin and then attach the sensor connector. Position the intermediate steering shaft onto the steering column shaft and extract the steering column anti rotation pin (J 42640) from beneath the lower trim cover.
