Porsche 996 TT, Repair Manual

Page: 867 / 2099

The steering angle sensor and its hub adapter must engage audibly. •
Use a new fastening screw on the universal joint. Observe the tightening torque of the screw. •
When replacing the steering angle sensor in pre−2003 vehicles, ensure that the components in the
surrounding areas are correctly assigned (this is determined by the steering angle sensor version that
is used).
•
The steering angle sensor has no defined zero position when new. The position for "straight ahead"
direction of travel must be programmed. This is done by calibrating with the Porsche System Tester,
when the wheels are in a straight−ahead position, on the measuring station. •
1. Secure the steering angle sensor to the steering column (steering shaft) in 2 stages . Stage 1: Secure
(engage) adapter −1− to the steering shaft. Stage 2: Fit steering angle sensor to adapter −1− (detailed
instructions on how to do this will follow).
1 Hub adapter
2 Driver for steering angle sensor
3 Internal locking tab (for securing to the upper steering shaft)
4 External locking tab
5 Engagement (cutout) on the driver
Detailed instructions: •
First, disengage hub adapter−1− from driver −2− of the steering angle sensor −engagement 5− and pull it
out.
Push hub adapter −1− onto the steering shaft. Locking tabs −3 and 4− must be facing the steering
wheel. Internal locking tab −3− must engage completely in the cutout in drive shaft −6− . Check
that it is fitting securely: hub adapter −1− must not be able to twist on the steering shaft. In order for
the cutout in steering shaft −6− to be visible in the opening of cover −D− , twist the steering wheel
out of its original position beforehand. Then return the steering wheel to its original position.
