2006 Buick Lucerne Steering Angle Sensor Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on 2006 Buick Lucerne?

  A: Start by identifying your Steering Angle Sensor type based on the listed illustrations before starting the removal process. From the technician's perspective the sensor connector faces right. Removing centering marks becomes unnecessary when keeping the current sensor for reuse. First disconnect the sensor's connector followed by pulling the sensor away from the adapter combined with the bearing assembly. A mark needs to be made on the flush rotor flange cuff before sensor removal for proper realignment when reinstalling. Standard practice includes sensor alignment against the Steering Shaft before installation into the adapter and bearing assembly while connecting the sensor. A new sensor brings its own pin which you should never remove until it is fully installed. You must not remove this pin until the sensor accomplishes total insertion. The front side of the sensor combines a foam ring with a pin hole for centering and a flush rotor flange cuff containing an alignment mark for installation. Two d flats appear on the sensor's back section combined with a foam ring and alignment tab. Before sensor installation users must line up the alignment marks on the flush rotor flange cuff while they remain in precise alignment throughout the sensor's full insertion. For each additional sensor follow the same procedure by documenting features and alignment needs which include raised rotor flange cuffs (3, 5), alignment marks (2, 4) and pin holes (1, 2, 3).
