Note On The Replacement Of The Steering Angle Sensor - Vehicles Before Mod. 03
A new steering angle sensor -C2- will be installed from the 2003 model onwards (3 programmes). This intrinsically modified steering angle sensor -C2-
differs (externally) from the previous steering angle sensor -C1- by its larger plug connection which is positioned differently. New steering angle sensor
-C2-: axial plug connection (underneath steering shaft)/previous steering angle sensor -C1-: radial (lateral) plug connection.

In the case of replacements, the new steering angle sensor -C2- can be installed retroactively in place of the previous model -C1-.
