Steering Angle Sensor Centering
The steering wheel position sensor does not require
centering often. Centering of the steering position sensor
might be required after certain service procedures are
performed. Some of these procedures are as follows:
• Steering gear replacement
• Steering column replacement
• Steering position sensor replacement
• Intermediate shaft replacement
• Antilock brake system (ABS) controller replacement
• Collision or other physical damage
The steering position sensor centering procedure can be
preformed with a scan tool in the automated center
procedure by the following:
1. Road test the vehicle at a constant highway speed
on a typical straight road. Verify the proper operating
condition of the suspension or alignment, and the
steering wheel is centered correctly. If the
suspension or alignment repairs are required, then
make the necessary repairs, and adjustments prior
to the steering position sensor calibration. Refer to
"Symptoms - Suspension General Diagnosis: ".
