Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor: Installation

  1. If the arrow on the steering wheel rotation sensor ring and the arrow on the sensor housing are misaligned and/or the straight ahead position of the sensor is not known, follow these steps to align the sensor prior to installing the sensor:
    1. Orient the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
    2. Connect the steering wheel rotation sensor electrical connector.
    3. Connect the battery negative cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
    4. Carefully rotate the sensor clockwise until it stops.
    5. Rotate the sensor counter-clockwise 2-1/2 turns.
    6. Using the scan tool, read the steering wheel rotation sensor position PID (SWA POS). The PID should read approximately 0 degrees. If not, repeat the procedure.
    7. Disconnect the battery negative cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
    8. Disconnect the steering wheel rotation sensor electrical connector.
    2. NOTE: Slight rotation of the steering wheel rotation sensor ring is allowed to align the 2 arrows.
  2. Make sure the sensor ring arrow is lined up with the steering wheel rotation sensor housing arrow as shown and position the sensor into the multi-function switch housing.
