• Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor before removal on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Beginning steering angle sensor centering requires technicians to identify the sensor type from provided illustrations prior to removal steps. From the technician's point of view the connector's front end faces to the right. Prior to removing the existing sensor that will be reused no centering process is necessary. Remove the sensor by disconnecting its connector and removing it from its adapter and bearing assembly. A sensor alignment mark on the flush rotor flange cuff must be made during reinstall if you choose to reuse the sensor so misalignment problems can be avoided. The front of the sensor incorporates a foam ring and a pin hole for centering with a flush rotor flange cuff. Install the sensor by placing it next to the steering shaft into the adapter and bearing assembly while confirming the connector securely connects. All new sensors contain an installed pin until installation. The insertion process requires waiting until sensor seat completion before removing the pin. The front section of the sensor contains three essential elements: a raised rotor flange cuff and alignment mark and pin hole. When ready do the "as needed" sensor replacement sequence but keep a log of the distinctive sensor characteristics such as the marker indicators for correct positioning when you reinstall.
