6. Pull off steering angle sensor plug. The connector should be removed sideways -direction arrow- or forwards (depending on the steering angle
sensor model). Disengage the steering angle sensor -C- forwards. To do this, press the sensor carefully through the opening in the cover -D- (
-direction arrow-).
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 programs). 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-.
^
When installing the new steering angle sensor -C2- for the first time in vehicles prior to the 2003 model, a new cable guide -B2- must be installed
(in place of the old one) together with an adapter lead -E- because of the modified plug connection (larger connector, connector position and
modified connector assignment).
^
The main difference between the old cable guide -B1- and the new one -B2- (series installation after 2003 model) is the cable deflection on its end.
The cable shaft (ribs) of the new cable guide -B2- are interrupted in places to install the guide (ribs in old cable guide -B1- are not interrupted).
