Steering Angle Sensor Replacement

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ) and the precautions and procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) before doing repairs or service.

NOTE: Do not damage or drop the combination switch as the steering angle sensor is sensitive to shock and vibration.

With the wheels in the straight-ahead position and the steering wheel centered, remove the steering wheel (see STEERING WHEEL REMOVAL ).
Remove the steering column covers (see GLOVE BOX STRIKER REPLACEMENT ) and the cable reel (see CABLE REEL REPLACEMENT ).
Remove the combination switch assembly (see step 13 REMOVAL ).
Remove the combination light switch (A) and the wiper/washer switch (B) from the combination switch body assembly (C).

NOTE:
- Do not remove the steering angle sensor from the combination switch body.
- When installing the cable reel, set the turn signal canceling sleeve position so that the arrow points straight up (see CABLE REEL REPLACEMENT ).
- Note that the tightening order is specified for the combination switch mounting screws (see STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
