  Q: How to replace the Steering Angle Sensor (with JL7) on Cadillac STS?

  A: In order to replace the Steering Angle Sensor (with JL7), first turn off the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Check that the front wheels are straight ahead and lock the steering wheels by using the steering column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) to avoid rotation that may cause damage to the sir system. Remove the driver knee bolster bracket. Remove the upper intermediate Steering Shaft bolt and nut and then remove the upper intermediate Steering Shaft from the steering column. First, disconnect the Steering Angle Sensor electrical connector, then next, remove the Steering Shaft lower bearing seal retainer, then next, unclip the Steering Angle Sensor to slide it off the Steering Shaft. For installation, self align the alignment shaft on the new Steering Angle Sensor to guide it into place on Steering Shaft making sure that lock tabs are locked. Remove the Steering Shaft lower bearing seal retainer and connect the upper intermediate Steering Shaft to the steering column. Fix in position the upper intermediate Steering Shaft bolt and nut with a tightening torque of 47 nm (35 lb ft). Reconnect Steering Angle Sensor electrical connector, reinstall driver knee bolster bracket, remove the anti rotation pin (J 42640), and lastly, you enable the sir system.
