Power Steering Motor or Torque Sensor Replacement

IMPORTANTThe power steering control module is serviced separately from the steering column assembly. However, the torque sensor is serviced as part of the steering column assembly.

After replacing either the steering column assembly or the power steering motor only the Steering Position/Torque Sensor Calibration procedure must be performed. Certain steering symptoms can be corrected by performing the Steering Position/Torque Sensor Calibration procedure such as

  1. Poor or uneven return to center
  2. Poor or uneven on center feel
