Steering Angle Sensor Centering

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The steering angle sensor does not require centering often. Centering of the steering angle sensor might be required after certain service procedures are performed. Some of these procedures are as follows:

Steering gear replacement
Steering column replacement
Steering angle sensor replacement
Intermediate shaft replacement
Electronic brake control module (EBCM) replacement
Collision or other physical damage

The steering angle sensor centering procedure can be completed with a scan tool using the following steps:

Using the steering wheel, align the front wheels forward.
Set the transmission in the PARK position.
Turn the ignition switch ON, with the engine OFF.
Clear any DTCs that may be set.
Select Calibrate Steering Angle Sensor in the EBCM Programming list.
Follow the scan tool directions to complete the centering procedure.
After procedure is complete, press Exit and cycle the ignition OFF, open the driver door to cancel RAP and wait one minute.
Cycle the ignition ON and clear all DTCs.
