6. Reinstall the steering column covers. The
sensor is not protected against dirt or water
intrusion, so care must be taken not to
introduce these elements during installation.
Steering Angle Sensor Calibration
The steering angle sensor calibration can only
be achieved when the sensor is powered by the
Advanced ABS ECU. No stand-alone sensor
calibration can be carried out. The calibration
procedure is performed using Bendix
Diagnostic V4.0 or higher. See "Troubleshooting
Diagnostic
Trouble Codes: Steering Angle
Sensor (SAS-70)" for the calibration procedure
using this tool.
The sensor must be recalibrated after any of
these situations:
Replacement of the steering angle sensor;
•
Any opening of the connector hub from the
•
steering angle sensor to the column;
Any maintenance or repair work on the
•
steering linkage, steering gear or other
related mechanism;
Adjustment of the wheel alignment or wheel
•
track;
After an accident that may have led to
•
damage of the steering angle sensor or
assembly.
WARNING
If the steering angle sensor is not properly
recalibrated as needed, the yaw control
system may not function properly, which can
result in incidents leading to loss of vehicle
control.
