  Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on Chevrolet Silverado 3500?

  A:

  A technician can identify the steering angle sensor type by reviewing mentioned illustrations. The sensor connector has its front section stored to the right side when viewing directions from a technician's position. The sensor connector needs removal before proceeding with the operation. It's not necessary to perform centering operations before removing the existing sensor when planning sensor reuse. Extract the sensor body from its adapter connection to the bearing assembly. During sensor installation check for a foam ring located on the front side of the sensor next to a pin hole that facilitates centering while ensuring a smooth rotor flange cuff fit. Place a strategic alignment mark on the flush rotor flange cuff during sensor removal in order to prevent incorrect positioning for the reinstallation procedure. A raised rotor flange cuff appears on the sensor's front side along with a pin hole and an alignment mark. Install the sensor by positioning it against the steering shaft then connecting it to the adapter and bearing assembly. The sensor includes a pin which must remain in place unless it's a fresh sensor installation. When installing the sensor make sure to keep the pin in place until the sensor is fully seated. Installation requires proper alignment of the marks found on the flush rotor flange cuff. Double D flat features and a foam ring exist on the back section of the sensor for successful mounting. Repetitions should be done for all sensors while keeping track of unique features together with matching requirements for proper installation.

  Q: How to service and repair the Steering Angle Sensor or Steering Shaft Lower Bearing on Chevrolet Silverado 3500?

  A:

  In order to service/repair the Steering Angle Sensor or Steering Shaft lower bearing, first, insert the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and install the steering column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) or check the position of the Steering Wheel in the locked position. Unplug the negative battery cable and remove the sir including its shaft taking care of register marks on the upper intermediate shaft to the steering column shaft where they meet since these marks will be needed during assembly. Cover the ends of the bolts to prevent the loss of the nut and the bolt connecting the upper and the lower Steering Shaft, slide the lower shaft down. Suitable tool must be used to pull down the angle sensor for the Steering Wheel connector around the right side for the column for accessibility. If going to reuse the existing Steering Angle Sensor, make sure it is in the middle before removing it and confirm the type of sensor. Take out the Steering Angle Sensor and adapter and bearing assembly from the steering column jacket and pull it with a straight action and remove the sensor from the clips in the adapter and bearing assembly. In case of installing a new sensor, make sure it has an inbuilt pin; if not, reorder the sensor. Check that the front wheels are straight and the steering column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) is installed or the Steering Wheel is locked. In the case of reuse of the existing sensor, ensure that you determine the type of sensor before installation. Replace the Steering Angle Sensor into the adapter and bearing assembly and seat this assembly into the steering column jacket so that the two notches match up without pushing sideways. Hook up the Steering Angle Sensor connector, align the marks on the upper intermediate shaft and at the ones at the steering column shafts, and put on the intermediate shaft to the steering column pinch bolt and tighten the nut to torque of 62 nm (46 ft. Lbs.). Finally, reconnect the negative cable of the battery and activate the sir system.
