WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra, 2003 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2003 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: A new sensor must come with a pin installed. If pin is not installed, return and reorder sensor.
  1. The steering wheel must be in the straight position.
  2. Set the steering wheel in the LOCKED position.
  3. If necessary to lock the column, install the anti rotation pin into the steering column.
  4. Remove the nut and the bolt from the upper intermediate shaft connection and slide the intermediate steering shaft down.
    IMPORTANT: Do not apply force to the sensor and the bearing assembly in a sideways direction.

    IMPORTANT: When reusing the sensor (1) you must install a pin into the sensor before it is removed from the steering shaft. By not installing a pin into the sensor it will cause the sensor to lose its centering position and must be discarded.

    Pin diameter must be in the range of 1.0-2.0 mm.

    Do not remove the bearing adapter (3).

  7. If reusing the sensor (1), remove the position sensor by pulling the sensor straight out from the bearing adapter (3) until the sensor is almost off the steering shaft (2). Install a pin into the sensor before removing from the steering shaft (2). Do not remove the pin until the sensor is re-installed.
  8. If replacing the sensor (1), remove the sensor by pulling the sensor straight out from the bearing adapter (3) and off the steering shafts.
