Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Centering

The steering angle sensor does not require centering often. Centering of the 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
• Collision or other physical damage
• Power steering control module replacement
• Electronic brake control module replacement
• Vehicle battery disconnection

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

1. Using the steering wheel, align and center the front wheels forward.
2. Apply the parking brake, or set the transmission in Park.
3. Install the scan tool to the data link connector.
4. Ignition ON, engine OFF.
5. With the scan tool select the Power Steering Control Module.
6. Select the Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Centering under Configuration/Reset Functions list.
7. Follow the scan tool directions to complete the learn procedure.
8. Clear any DTCs that may be set.
