Installation [08/2013 - ]

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.

  1. 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.

    1. Check if the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered.

      HINT: 

      When the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered, the alignment marks are aligned and the colored part or flat cable shown in the illustration is visible.

    2. If the spiral cable sub-assembly is not centered, center it.
      NOTE:
      • 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.
      1. While pushing on the interlock indicated in the illustration, rotate the spiral cable sub-assembly counterclockwise slowly by hand until it stops.

        HINT: 

        • The spiral cable sub-assembly will rotate approximately 2.5 turns to both the left and right from the center.
        • When the spiral cable sub-assembly is centered, the alignment marks are aligned and the colored part or flat cable shown in the illustration is visible.
  2. INSTALL STEERING SENSOR 
    1. Align the 2 pins and 2 guides, and engage the 6 claws to install the steering sensor to the spiral cable sub-assembly.

      *1 Lock Pin
      *a Guide
      *b Pin
      NOTE:
      • Do not remove the lock pin before the steering sensor is installed to the spiral cable sub-assembly.
      • Do not damage the pins of the spiral cable sub-assembly and guides of the steering sensor.
      • The spiral cable sub-assembly can be rotate up to 30° even when the interlock is engaged. Therefore, make sure that both guides are aligned properly when installing the steering sensor to the spiral cable sub-assembly.
    2. Remove the lock pin from the steering sensor.
