Steering Angle Sensor Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Ford Probe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect steering angle sensor connector. Place steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Set VOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between Green and Green/White wires. Resistance reading should be zero to 15 k/ohms.
  2. Turn steering wheel slowly from straight-ahead position to 180 degrees left. Resistance should decrease to zero, change to 45 k/ohms, and decrease from this value. If resistance is within specification, proceed to PINPOINT TEST B5. If resistance is not as specified, replace steering angle sensor.
