  Q: How to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor or Steering Shaft Lower Bearing on Chevrolet Silverado 2500?

  A:

  In order to service/repair the Steering Angle Sensor or Steering Shaft lower bearing, first, insert the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and install the steering column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) or check the position of the Steering Wheel in the locked position. Unplug the negative battery cable and remove the sir including its shaft taking care of register marks on the upper intermediate shaft to the steering column shaft where they meet since these marks will be needed during assembly. Cover the ends of the bolts to prevent the loss of the nut and the bolt connecting the upper and the lower Steering Shaft, slide the lower shaft down. Suitable tool must be used to pull down the angle sensor for the Steering Wheel connector around the right side for the column for accessibility. If going to reuse the existing Steering Angle Sensor, make sure it is in the middle before removing it and confirm the type of sensor. Take out the Steering Angle Sensor and adapter and bearing assembly from the steering column jacket and pull it with a straight action and remove the sensor from the clips in the adapter and bearing assembly. In case of installing a new sensor, make sure it has an inbuilt pin; if not, reorder the sensor. Check that the front wheels are straight and the steering column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) is installed or the Steering Wheel is locked. In the case of reuse of the existing sensor, ensure that you determine the type of sensor before installation. Replace the Steering Angle Sensor into the adapter and bearing assembly and seat this assembly into the steering column jacket so that the two notches match up without pushing sideways. Hook up the Steering Angle Sensor connector, align the marks on the upper intermediate shaft and at the ones at the steering column shafts, and put on the intermediate shaft to the steering column pinch bolt and tighten the nut to torque of 62 nm (46 ft. Lbs.). Finally, reconnect the negative cable of the battery and activate the sir system.

  Q: How to replace the rear Steering Angle Sensor on Chevrolet Silverado 2500?

  A:

  Introduction starts with sensor replacement for the rear position sensor by elevating the vehicle in position. The electrical connector needs disconnection when removing the steering gear protection shield retaining bolts . The rear wheel position sensor cover needs to be removed from around the steering gear while protecting the rear position sensor from damage. Then loosen the bolts which retain the position sensor while inspecting the inner tie rod boot for signs of damage. Steering gear actuators need replacing if they become damaged. First maintain the sensor position without rotating it before taking the rear wheel position sensor out of the steering gear. Installation requires o-ring installation followed by rear wheel position sensor attachment to the steering gear with exact placement of the new sensor. Right away install the pin that retains the standard sensor position after removing it. Put rear wheel position sensor retaining bolts in position while using loctite 242 blue fluid and torque them to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.). Install the rear wheel position sensor cover and secure the electrical connector before installing the steering gear protection shield . Tighten all retaining bolts to 180 Nm (132 ft. lbs.). After setting the vehicle height use the four-wheel alignment equipment to calibrate all wheels.
