  Q: How to center the Steering Angle Sensor on Chevrolet Suburban 1500?

  A:

  Begin sensor centering by identifying sensor type then checking front connector placement to ensure its position on the right side. Severing the connector breaks the connection between the sensor and the adapter and bearing assembly setup. Before sensor reuse it is unnecessary to center but you should create an alignment mark on the flush rotor flange cuff to maintain proper alignment when reinstalling. Before sensor installation check whether the new sensor has an installed pin. Keep the pin installed to the sensor until you complete proper sensor seating. You should mount the sensor against the steering shaft for the adapter and bearing assembly installation process while continuously keeping the flush rotor flange cuff alignment mark facing forward until the sensor reaches its final position. Adhere sensor wires while confirming that the front shows a foam ring with both a pin hole and a flushed rotor flange cuff bearing an alignment mark. Before sensor installation you must align the marks from the flush rotor flange cuff. The connection sequence must be repeated for every supplementary sensor with careful documentation of distinctive installation specifications like pin holes and alignment marks.

  Q: How to replace the Steering Angle Sensor on Chevrolet Suburban 1500?

  A:

  Setting the front wheels at a straight position while locking the steering wheel must come first when replacing the steering wheel position sensor. Disable operation of the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Disassemble the upper intermediate shaft connection by unbolted the nut then removing bolt while guiding down the Steering Shaft intermediate. A suitable tool should be used to disconnect the position sensor connector by dragging it downward toward the Steering Column's right side. Keep all pressures off both the sensor and bearing components. Extract the position sensor combined with bearings straight out of the Steering Column jacket before dislodging the sensor from its clips on the bearing assembly. Place the position sensor into bearing assembly without applying any side pressure before inserting the bearing fully into the Steering Column jacket while aligning its notches. After connecting the position sensor connector make sure to carefully follow the fastener notice in service precautions. Gently slide the shaft until both the bolt and nut reach their position at the upper intermediate shaft to Steering Column junction point. Then torque the connection to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Finally, enable the sir system.
