Steering: Service and Repair

Steering Wheel Position Sensor Calibration

1. Place the vehicle on a flat level surface with the transmission in PARK.

2. NOTE: Make sure that the steering wheel is turned from right to left before centering or sensor calibration will fail.

Starting with the steering wheel against the right steering stop, rotate the steering wheel through the entire range of motion until contact is made with the left steering stop, then re-center to the straight ahead position.

3. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle.

4. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.

5. Using the scan tool, select steering wheel position sensor calibration and follow the scan tool instructions.

6. Clear any PSCM DTCs.

7. NOTE: After turning the ignition key to the OFF position, wait at least 25 seconds before carrying out any procedures that require the battery to be disconnected or module memory loss may occur.

Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

8. Road test the vehicle. If the steering wheel is not in the straight ahead position while driving on a flat road surface, check and adjust the alignment as necessary. Refer to Suspension System - General Information Service and Repair.
