Steering Angle Sensor Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ) and the precautions and procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) before doing repairs or service.

NOTE: Do not damage or drop the combination switch as the steering angle sensor is sensitive to shock and vibration.

With the wheels in the straight-ahead position and the steering wheel centered, remove the steering wheel (see STEERING WHEEL REMOVAL ).
Remove the steering column covers (see GLOVE BOX STRIKER REPLACEMENT ) and the cable reel (see CABLE REEL REPLACEMENT ).
Remove the combination switch assembly (see step 13 REMOVAL ).
Remove the combination light switch (A) and the wiper/washer switch (B) from the combination switch body assembly (C).

NOTE:
- Do not remove the steering angle sensor from the combination switch body.

- Note that the tightening order is specified for the combination switch mounting screws (see STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
