Warning
An inaccurate or not centered steering angle sensor could limit the operation of the electric power steering (EPS) and result in personal injury.
For vehicles WITHOUT electronic stability control program and INTERNAL Steering Angle Sensor
Refer to the Steering Angle Centering procedure in Power Steering Control Module Calibration Power Steering Control Module Calibration.
For vehicles WITH electronic stability control program and EXTERNAL Steering Angle Sensor
The external, column mounted, steering angle sensor does not require a centering often. Centering of the external steering angle sensor might be required after certain service procedures are performed. Some of these procedures are as follows:
* Electronic brake control module (EBCM) replacement
* Steering angle sensor replacement
* Steering gear replacement
* Steering column replacement
* Collision or other physical damage
The external steering angle sensor centering procedure can be completed with a scan tool using the following steps:
1. Using the steering wheel, align the front wheels forward.
2. Apply the parking brake, or set the transmission in the P position.
3. Install the scan tool to the data link connector.
4. Ignition ON, engine OFF
