Steering Angle Sensor Centering

For vehicles WITHOUT electronic stability control program and INTERNAL Steering Angle Sensor 

Refer to the Steering Angle Centering procedure in Power Steering Control Module Calibration .

For vehicles WITH electronic stability control program and EXTERNAL Steering Angle Sensor 

The external, column mounted, steering angle sensor does not require a centering often. Centering of the external steering angle sensor might be required after certain service procedures are performed. Some of these procedures are as follows:

• Wheel alignment
• Steering gear replacement
• Steering column replacement
• Steering angle sensor replacement
• Collision or other physical damage
• Electronic brake control module (EBCM) replacement

The external steering angle sensor centering procedure can be completed with a scan tool using the following steps:

1. Using the steering wheel, align the front wheels forward.
2. Apply the parking brake or set the transmission in the Park.
3. Install the scan tool to the data link connector.
4. Ignition ON, engine OFF
5. Select Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Reset in the Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module Configuration/Reset Functions list.
6. Follow the scan tool directions to complete the reset procedure.
7. Select Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Learn in the Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module Configuration/Reset Functions list.
8. Follow the scan tool directions to complete the learn procedure.
9. Select Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Learn in the Electronic Brake Control Module Configuration/Reset Functions list.
10. Follow the scan tool directions to complete the learn procedure.
11. If the vehicle is equipped with electronic power steering, perform the Software Endstop Learning procedure. Refer to Power Steering Control Module Calibration .
12. Clear any DTCs that may be set.
