  Q: How should the Steering Angle Sensor be removed and installed according to the updated bulletin No. 03-02-36-002 on Cadillac DeVille?

  A:

  Bulletin no. 03-02-36-002 now serves as the updated version of this article. Determine the sensor type by consulting the diagrams before starting the steering wheel position sensor removal. The sensor connector's front position will face the right direction. When using an existing sensor for replacement centering the sensor before uninstallation becomes unnecessary. First separate the sensor connector before removing the sensor from its adapter and bearing assembly. The front portion requires both a foam ring and a pin hole for alignment purposes and a smooth adjustment with the rotor flange cuff. You must create an alignment mark on the rotor flange cuff before sensor removal to avoid installation misalignment. Each new sensor ships with preinstalled pins but the installation process should wait until sensor placement. The measurement pin required for this sensor needs to stay in place until complete sensor immersion occurs. Position the sensor correctly against the Steering Shaft before installation into the adapter and bearing assembly followed by sensor connection. The sensor's front section includes a centering pin hole alongside a raised rotor flange cuff that contains an installation alignment mark. Before inserting the sensor ensure you check that the alignment marks on the raised rotor flange cuff match up when using the same sensor again. Proceed with the same alignment method and installation sequence for each sensor type while verifying features like the alignment tab and double d flats when needed. You should check for alignment mark continuity from sensor insertion until full adapter and bearing assembly seating.
