Steering Angle Sensor Calibration permanently stores the current
steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the steering
angle sensor EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering
wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before
calibration. In addition, the vehicle identification number is also read
from the instrument cluster and stored permanently in the steering
angle sensor EEPROM. On successful completion of calibration, the
steering angle sensor fault memory is automatically cleared.
Calibration must be completed after the following operations:
 Steering wheel replacement
 Steering angle sensor replacement
 Any maintenance involving opening the connector hub from the
steering angle sensor to the column
 Any maintenance or repair work on the steering linkage, steering
gear or other related mechanism
 Wheel alignment or wheel track adjustment
 Accident repairs where damage to the steering angle sensor or
