Steering Angle Sensor Replacement

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations: 4-door (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ), 2-door (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ) and the precautions and procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ).

NOTE: Do not damage or drop the combination switch as the steering angle sensor is sensitive to shock and vibration.
  1. With the wheels in the straight ahead position and the steering wheel centered, remove the steering wheel (see STEERING WHEEL REMOVAL ).
  2. Remove the steering column covers (see COLUMN COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ) and the cable reel (see CABLE REEL REPLACEMENT ).
  3. Remove the combination switch assembly (see step 7 under STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  4. Remove the combination light switch (A) and the wiper/washer switch (B) from the combination switch body assembly (C).

  5. Install the combination switch body assembly in the reverse order of removal.
    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 step 2 under CABLE REEL REPLACEMENT ).
    • Tighten the combination switch assembly/cable reel mounting screw in the proper sequence (see step 1 under STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
