Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM)

Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM)













Removal

1. Remove the clockspring. For additional information, refer to Restraint Systems.

2. Remove the 2 Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM) bolts.

3. Disconnect the SASM electrical connector and remove the SASM.

Installation

For Edge, MKX and vehicles equipped with Active Park Assist

1. If the arrow on the SASM ring and the arrow on the sensor housing are misaligned and/or the straight-ahead position of the sensor is not known, follow these steps to align the sensor prior to installing the sensor:

1. Orient the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.

2. Connect the SASM electrical connector.

3. Carefully rotate the sensor clockwise until it stops.

4. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise two and one-half turns.

5. Using the scan tool, read the SASM position PID (SWA POS). The PID should read approximately 0 degrees. If not, repeat the procedure.

6. Disconnect the SASM electrical connector.

For all other vehicles

2. If the arrow on the SASM ring and the arrow on the sensor housing are misaligned and/or the straight-ahead position of the sensor is not known, follow these steps to align the sensor prior to installing the sensor:

1. Orient the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.

2. Carefully rotate the sensor clockwise until it stops.

3. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise two and one-half turns.

For all vehicles

3. NOTE: Slight rotation of the SASM ring is allowed to align the 2 arrows.

Make sure the sensor ring arrow is lined up with the SASM housing arrow as shown and position the sensor into the multifunction switch housing.





4. Connect the SASM electrical connector.

5. Install the 2 SASM bolts.
- Tighten to 1 Nm (9 lb-in).

6. Install the clockspring. For additional information, refer to Restraint Systems.
- If the SASM was aligned using the scan tool, DTCs will be present in the Restraints Control Module (RCM). Using the scan tool, clear the DTCs in the RCM.

For Edge and MKX vehicles only

7. Calibrate the ABS module.
- Carry out the IVD Initialization sequence. Follow the scan tool directions.
