Removal Procedure
Important: If replacing the steering wheel position sensor, the new sensor MUST come with a locating pin installed. If a locating pin is
not installed, return and reorder a new steering wheel position sensor. Do not apply force to the steering wheel position sensor in a
sideways direction.
When reusing the steering wheel position sensor you must install a locating pin before removing it from the steering column. If the
steering wheel position sensor loses its correct position it must be discarded.
The locating pin diameter must be in the range of 1.0-2.0 mm.
1. Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and install anti-rotation pin J 42640 in the steering column lower access hole.
2. Disconnect the intermediate steering shaft from the steering column. Refer to Intermediate Steering Shaft Replacement (See: Steering/Steering
Column/Service and Repair/Intermediate Steering Shaft Replacement).
3. Disconnect any electrical connectors as needed.
4. Remove the steering wheel position sensor.
