Steering Wheel Position Sensor






This sensor is mounted in the lower bearing of the steering column. It detects abrupt or evasive steering maneuvers, and signals the power steering control module to reduce steering effort. The faster the driver turns the steering wheel, the quicker the signal is generated by the steering wheel position sensor. If the steering wheel position sensor needs to be replaced, the steering column must be removed from the vehicle.
