  2. AA2: ADJUST THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Remove the SASM but LEAVE the electrical connector CONNECTED. Refer to Steering Column Switches article
      NOTE: Turning the ignition on sets DTCs in multiple modules
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the SASM and monitor the SW_ANGLE (ANGL) PID.
    • Manually adjust the steering angle sensor until the SW_ANGLE PID displays 0 degrees
    • Ignition OFF.

  3. AA3: CHECK FOR CORRECT SASM OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect the SASM connector.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminal - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the SASM connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
      Yes No
      CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA.
      If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions.
      If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new SASM. REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control article
      The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
