Steering Angle Sensor Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Ford Probe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect steering angle sensor connector. Place steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Set VOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between Green and Green/White wires. Resistance should be zero to 15 k/ohms.
  2. Turn steering wheel slowly from straight-ahead to 180 degrees right. If resistance increase is less than 20 k/ohms above straight-ahead specification, proceed to PINPOINT TEST B4. If resistance increase is 20 k/ohms or more above straight-ahead position, replace steering angle sensor.
