Power Steering Motor or Torque Sensor Replacement
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. 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
