Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM): Installation

  1. If the arrow on the SASM  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 SASM  electrical connector.
    3. Carefully rotate the sensor clockwise until it stops.
    4. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise two and one-half turns.
    5. Using the scan tool, read the SASM  position PID (STEER_ANGL). The PID should read approximately 0 degrees. If not, repeat the procedure.
    6. Disconnect the SASM  electrical connector.
  2. NOTE: Slight rotation of the SASM  ring is allowed to align the 2 arrows.

  3. Make sure the sensor ring arrow is lined up with the SASM  housing arrow as shown in illustration and position the sensor into the multifunction switch housing.
  4. Connect the SASM  electrical connector.
  5. Install the SASM  to the clockspring. Make sure that the tabs on the inner ring of the SASM  align with the notches on the clockspring and that the locking tabs on the clockspring hold the SASM  to the clockspring securely.
  6. Install the clockspring. For additional information, refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    • If the SASM  was aligned using the scan tool, DTCs may be present in the Restraints Control Module (RCM). Using the scan tool, clear the DTCs in the RCM  .
  7. Calibrate the ABS module.
    • Carry out the IVD Initialization sequence for the steering angle sensor. Follow the scan tool directions.
