Power Steering Motor or Torque Sensor Replacement
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
The power steering motor is serviced separately from the steering gear. However, the torque sensor is serviced as part of the steering gear assembly.
After replacing either the steering gear assembly or the power steering motor, only the Steering Position/Torque Sensor Calibration procedure must be performed. Certain steering symptoms can be corrected by performing the Steering Position/Torque Sensor Calibration procedure such as:
- Poor, or uneven return to center
- Poor, or uneven on center feel
