  Q: How to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Sierra 1500 Classic?

  A: You must identify which steering angle sensor version you are working with from the drawing set prior to sensor detachment. The sensor connector's FRONT end faces right from the installation point of view. The retention of the original sensor requires no alignment since removal proceeds without sequential steps. Service requires connector disconnection followed by sensor removal from its placement on the adapter and bearing assembly. A mark should be applied to the flush rotor flange cuff before taking it off to avoid installation misalignment. During setup keep the sensor's FRONT section with a foam ring alongside a centered pin hole and a rotor flange cuff that is flat. To achieve proper installation of reused sensors keep your alignment marks on the flush rotor flange cuff in sight until the sensor reaches its final position. A fresh installation of the sensor arrives with its installation pin included. However, users should not remove this pin before the sensor is completely seated. The sensor installation procedure mandates you to leave the pin in place until the sensor reaches its full position. The setup requires three stages to perform: first position the sensor to match the steering shaft then fit it into the adapter and bearing assembly followed by sensor connection. A pin hole exists at the FRONT of the sensor along with a raised rotor flange cuff and installation alignment mark. The BACK of the sensor includes two D flats for double installation and a tab for alignment. The whole procedure should be repeated while paying close attention to component position accuracy.
