  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR OUTPUT
1. Start the engine.
2. Center the steering wheel.
3. With the scan tool, read the Steering Angle Sensor Position.
  Is the Steering Angle Sensor Position within ±15°?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Go To 3
INSPECT VEHICLE, STEERING COLUMN, AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFT FOR DAMAGE
NOTE:
If possible, check vehicle repair history for collision damage.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Inspect the vehicle for damage causing tracking problems or steering wheel misalignment.
3. Inspect the steering column and intermediate shaft for damage.
4. Center the steering wheel.
5. With the scan tool, read the Steering Angle Sensor Position.
  Is the Steering Angle Sensor Position within ±15°?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK STEERING ANGLE CHANGE
1. Turn steering wheel so wheels point in a straight ahead position.
2. With scan tool check steering angle if reading travels to 720 degrees while rotating wheel from lock to lock.
  NOTE:
  Sensor damage can occur if wheel is turned over 720 degrees.
3. Rotate steering wheel to the right and the degrees will decrease and rotate steering wheel to the left and the degrees will increase.
  Did the steering angle change accordingly and display less than 720 degrees from lock to lock?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Replace the Clockspring (SAS) in accordance with the Service Information and clear offsets by initializing ECU with wheels pointing straight ahead.
  - Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK CLOCKSPRING (SAS) INSTALLATION
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Refer to RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

NOTE:
Proper Clockspring (SAS) installation is crucial for proper operation.
1. Verify that the Clockspring (SAS) is properly installed.
  Is the Clockspring (SAS) properly installed?
