NOTE:
A lock pin is installed to a new steering sensor. Do not remove the lock pin before the steering sensor is installed to the spiral cable sub-assembly.
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY NOTE:
If the steering sensor is installed to a misaligned spiral cable sub-assembly, DTCs for an abnormal steering sensor value such as DTC B1801 and DTC C1231 are stored and it is impossible to repair them. If this happens, replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.
- Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

- When rotating the spiral cable sub-assembly, make sure to push on the interlock indicated in the illustration to release the interlock mechanism.
- Do not turn the spiral cable sub-assembly using the airbag wire harness.
- If the spiral cable sub-assembly cannot be centered, it is possible that the spiral cable sub-assembly is broken. Replace the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with a new one.
- While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.
