Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Installation Procedure
Important:Β If reusing the existing sensor, no centering of the sensor is required.
- If installing a new sensor, it will come with a pin installed in the sensor. Do not remove the pin until the sensor is seated.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor (1) connector will be on your right.
From the technicians point of view, the BACK of the sensor (2) connector will be on your left.
- Looking at the FRONT of the sensor, align the sensor with the steering shaft and install into the adapter and bearing assembly.
- Install the connector to the sensor.
- From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
- foam ring (4)
- pin hole (7) for centering pin (note location of pin hole)
- flushed rotor flange cuff (6)
- alignment mark (5) for installation
- From the technicians point of view, the BACK of the sensor will have:
- double D flats (1)
- foam ring (3)
- alignment tab (2) for installing into the adapter and bearing assembly.
- view of the inside of the connector
Important:Β If reusing the existing sensor, you must align the marks on the flush rotor flange cuff before installation. The alignment mark must stay aligned until the sensor is seated into the adapter and bearing assembly.
If installing a new sensor, it will come with a pin installed in the sensor. Do not remove the pin until the sensor is seated. If the new sensor did not come with a pin installed, you must reorder a new sensor.
