CONSTRUCTION
The steering sensor detects the steering direction and angle, and sends this signal to the skid control ECU.
The steering sensor contains 2 sets of magnetic reluctance elements that detect the rotational movement of a magnet that is built into the detection gear. Thus, the sensor detects the changes that occur in the magnetic reluctance elements along with the rotational movement of the detection gear, in order to detect the rotational movement of the steering wheel.

Note
Do not remove the steering sensor from the spiral cable. If there is a malfunction in the steering sensor, replace the spiral cable with steering sensor.
Tech Tips
When removing and reinstalling the spiral cable with steering sensor, it is necessary to use a special procedure to prevent the center position of the steering sensor from becoming misaligned. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
