  Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on Cadillac DTS?

  A:

  One must first determine which sensor type is required from illustrations preceding disassembly for centering. From the technician's view the sensor connector sits on the right side. A reused existing sensor does not need centering before its removal from the wheel adapter. Pull out the sensor first from the adapter before disconnecting the sensor connector from its assembly. When installing the sensor make sure its front side contains a foam ring attached with a pin hole designed for centering the sensor while also providing a flush rotor flange cuff. During sensor reuse create an alignment mark on the rotor flange cuff before removal to avoid installation misalignment. Attach the sensor according to standard procedure by positioning the front section with the raised rotor flange cuff followed by alignment marks and a pin hole location. Perform installation and removal steps once more while checking that the front sensor portion includes needed features such as a sensor clip and excluding the connector from being present at the start of every installation procedure. New sensors include a removable pin that needs to stay in place until the sensor has properly seated. The sensor positioning must remain aligned with the Steering Shaft throughout the installation process of the adapter and bearing assembly. Maintain the alignment marks in their proper positions until sensor insertion is complete. The sensor's back side features double d flats with a foam ring which provides the correct mounting method.
