Steering Angle Sensor: Service and Repair

Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM)













Removal

1. Remove the clockspring.

2. Remove the 2 Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM) bolts.

3. Disconnect the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) electrical connector and remove the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module).

Installation

For vehicles with Active Park Assist

1. If the arrow on the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) ring and the arrow on the sensor housing are misaligned and/or the straight-ahead position of the sensor is not known, follow these steps to align the sensor prior to installing the sensor:
1. Orient the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.

2. Connect the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) electrical connector.

3. Carefully rotate the sensor clockwise until it stops.

4. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise two and one-half turns.

5. Using the scan tool, read the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) position PID (SWA POS). The PID should read approximately 0 degrees. If not, repeat the procedure.

6. Disconnect the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) electrical connector.


For vehicles without Active Park Assist

2. If the arrow on the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) ring and the arrow on the sensor housing are misaligned and/or the straight-ahead position of the sensor is not known, follow these steps to align the sensor prior to installing the sensor:
1. Orient the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.

2. Carefully rotate the sensor clockwise until it stops.

3. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise two and one-half turns.


For all vehicles

3. NOTE: Slight rotation of the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) ring is allowed to align the 2 arrows.
Make sure the sensor ring arrow is lined up with the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) housing arrow as shown and position the sensor into the multifunction switch housing.






4. Connect the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) electrical connector.

5. Install the 2 SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) bolts.
- Tighten to 1 Nm (9 lb-in).


6. Install the clockspring.
- If the SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) was aligned using the scan tool, DTCs will be present in the Restraints Control Module (RCM). Using the scan tool, clear the DTCs in the RCM (Restraints Control Module).
