STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

   Note

   If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable sub-assembly, spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly malfunction DTCs, such as DTC B1801, C1231 and C1433, will be stored and it will be impossible to clear them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.

   
   

   1. Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.

      
      

      OK:

      • The connector is positioned at the top.

      • The alignment marks are aligned correctly.

      • The colored roller or flat cable can be seen in the inspection window.

   2. If the spiral cable sub-assembly is not centered, center it.

      Note

      Make sure to observe the following precautions, otherwise the spiral cable sub-assembly may be damaged.

      
      

      • Release the interlock before rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.

      • Do not rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly with excessive force.

      
      

      1. 

         *a

         Interlock

         While pushing on the interlock shown in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.

         Note

         If the spiral cable sub-assembly is rotated clockwise in this step, it may be damaged and may no longer be able to be centered. Make sure to only rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise.

         Tech Tips

         If the interlock is engaged, the spiral cable sub-assembly will lock when the connector is near at the top or bottom of the rotation of the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      2. 

         If the connector is not positioned at the bottom of the rotation of the spiral cable sub-assembly when the spiral cable sub-assembly is turned until it stops, turn the spiral cable sub-assembly clockwise until the connector is positioned at the bottom as shown in the illustration.

      3. 

         *a

         Interlock

         While pushing on the interlock shown in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly clockwise approximately 2.5 times.

         Note

         If the spiral cable sub-assembly is rotated clockwise 5 times or more from the point at which it stops and the connector is positioned at the bottom, the spiral cable sub-assembly may be damaged.

         Tech Tips

         If the interlock is engaged, the spiral cable sub-assembly will lock when the connector is near at the top or bottom of the rotation of the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      4. Check that the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.

         
         

         OK:

         • The connector is positioned at the top.

         • The alignment marks are aligned correctly.

         • The colored roller or flat cable can be seen in the inspection window.

         Note

         If the spiral cable sub-assembly cannot be centered, it may be damaged. Replace the spiral cable sub-assembly with a new one.

2. INSTALL STEERING SENSOR

   
   

   1. 

      *a	Guide
      *b	Pin
      *c	Lock Pin

      Align the 2 pins and 2 guides, and engage the 6 claws to install the steering sensor to the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      Note

      
      

      • Do not remove the lock pin before the steering sensor is installed to the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      • Do not damage the pins of the spiral cable sub-assembly and guides of the steering sensor.

      • The spiral cable sub-assembly can be rotated up to 30° even when the interlock is engaged. Therefore, make sure that both guides are aligned properly when installing the steering sensor to the spiral cable sub-assembly.

   2. 

      Remove the lock pin from the steering sensor.
