How to replace the rear Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Sierra 1500?

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.

What tools are required to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Sierra 3500?

The repair of the steering wheel position sensor requires these essential tools: Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640). Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640). The first step involves both the sir system disablement and locking the Steering Column from the access hole with a Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640). Disconnecting the Steering Column or intermediate shaft without first locking the column in position and achieving straight-front wheel alignment will result in sir coil assembly damage and improper alignment. When installing a new sensor always check it includes the pin. Extract the vehicle's Steering Column after making sure the new sensor contains this pin. If not, reorder the sensor. The sensor connector requires a suitable tool to lower it down so the connection can be accessed while removing the sensor retainer from the Steering Shaft. Before reusing a sensor install a pin into it to keep it properly centered; otherwise discard it. Otherwise, discard the sensor. Leaving the bearing adapter in position remains crucial. To replace sensors maintain a direct pull which extracts them from the bearing adapter toward the Steering Shaft. Keep the sensor straight when fitting it onto the Steering Shaft before inserting it inside the bearing adapter. Never apply torque to the sensor during installation. The sensor needs to be adjusted to create a 3 mm distance between itself and the bearing adapter. Place the sensor connector onto the rotational sensor before pulling its pin off while mounting the two-part sensor retainer on the Steering Shaft. Reinstall the Steering Column to the vehicle after you remove the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) then activate the sir system.

How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Yukon?

Before centering the Steering Angle Sensor always double-check that the vehicle has straight wheels and implement a steering anti-rotation pin or column lock or strap to keep the wheel static to shield the sir system from breakdown. Steering column removal must occur together with intermediate shafts and steering gear disconnection but the wheel movement or tire position adjustment must remain static otherwise the sir coil centering will be lost. To fix an un-centered sir coil operate with the correct procedure for sir coil centering. Check the sensor type before removing it to establish proper connector positioning according to viewing it from the sensor's front. The centering process becomes unnecessary whenever you choose to reuse your existing sensor. Extract the adapter with both its connector and sensor from the bearing assembly. During installation position the sensor along the Steering Shaft while making sure the connector remains correctly connected. When working with a new sensor maintain control of the pin until the sensor reaches its final position. Flushing rotor flange cuffs should obtain alignment marks before sensor reuse to maintain proper orientation during sensor reinstallation. Specific features of the sensor should include pin holes for centering and alignment marks and foam rings which need to be documented when removing and installing the sensor to maintain proper functioning.

Q: How to replace the rear Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Sierra 1500?
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.

Q: What tools are required to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Sierra 3500?
A: The repair of the steering wheel position sensor requires these essential tools: Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640). Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640). The first step involves both the sir system disablement and locking the Steering Column from the access hole with a Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640). Disconnecting the Steering Column or intermediate shaft without first locking the column in position and achieving straight-front wheel alignment will result in sir coil assembly damage and improper alignment. When installing a new sensor always check it includes the pin. Extract the vehicle's Steering Column after making sure the new sensor contains this pin. If not, reorder the sensor. The sensor connector requires a suitable tool to lower it down so the connection can be accessed while removing the sensor retainer from the Steering Shaft. Before reusing a sensor install a pin into it to keep it properly centered; otherwise discard it. Otherwise, discard the sensor. Leaving the bearing adapter in position remains crucial. To replace sensors maintain a direct pull which extracts them from the bearing adapter toward the Steering Shaft. Keep the sensor straight when fitting it onto the Steering Shaft before inserting it inside the bearing adapter. Never apply torque to the sensor during installation. The sensor needs to be adjusted to create a 3 mm distance between itself and the bearing adapter. Place the sensor connector onto the rotational sensor before pulling its pin off while mounting the two-part sensor retainer on the Steering Shaft. Reinstall the Steering Column to the vehicle after you remove the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) then activate the sir system.

Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on GMC Yukon?
A: Before centering the Steering Angle Sensor always double-check that the vehicle has straight wheels and implement a steering anti-rotation pin or column lock or strap to keep the wheel static to shield the sir system from breakdown. Steering column removal must occur together with intermediate shafts and steering gear disconnection but the wheel movement or tire position adjustment must remain static otherwise the sir coil centering will be lost. To fix an un-centered sir coil operate with the correct procedure for sir coil centering. Check the sensor type before removing it to establish proper connector positioning according to viewing it from the sensor's front. The centering process becomes unnecessary whenever you choose to reuse your existing sensor. Extract the adapter with both its connector and sensor from the bearing assembly. During installation position the sensor along the Steering Shaft while making sure the connector remains correctly connected. When working with a new sensor maintain control of the pin until the sensor reaches its final position. Flushing rotor flange cuffs should obtain alignment marks before sensor reuse to maintain proper orientation during sensor reinstallation. Specific features of the sensor should include pin holes for centering and alignment marks and foam rings which need to be documented when removing and installing the sensor to maintain proper functioning.
