How to replace steering wheel angle sensor?

[charltjr]

Hi,

I've just fitted a new squib from a breaker after having buggered up the wiring in my old one. Problem is I've now got the ESP/traction control light on. I've had it on Clip and it reports the steering wheel angle as something like 80,000 degrees and it won't reset - I think it's probably buggered.

I've still got the old squib on which the angle sensor was working perfectly, but I can't find any guides or information on how to replace the angle sensor on it's own, only the whole squib.

Before I take the wheel off (yet) again to get at the thing can anyone give me a quick steer on how to replace it? I'm guessing/hoping it's really simple since there doesn't seem to be any info on it knocking around

Thanks,
John

There is tabs on the backside that need to line up. Make sure the wheels are straight. There is a little tab on the left hand side that's slots into place to align it with the wheel

Thanks - had a look and found the clips. I've got the sensor off the old squib, now just got to replace the knackered one.

Maybe when you put the wheel on upside down you didn't align the wheel properly [emoji23][emoji23]
