Chevy Malibu / Pontiac G6 Steering Position and Torque Sensor Replacement

[@Steven-ww2vv]

i spent $50 at a junk yard and got the sensor already inside the column. i didnt take the sensor out and put it in my column. i just put the junk yard column in my car. i didnt get a brand new part, but i did save about $700 and fixed the problem.

[@marlonlee9911]

How did you remove the column and was it difficult?

[@kchatlos9102]

Did you have to get it calibrated..im thinking of just putting an o7 impala column in it

[@demigxd5854]

Nice I have g6 Pontiac I’m going to try this you still had to take the steering wheel off right then just replace colunm ?

[@wutupitblake]

That's exactly what I just did. Way less work an money

[@desean881]

[@sneakerqueen9815]

[@juliankim4481]

Did you go to gm dealer?

[@rebeccaraines1788]

Can we get a video of the initial removal out of the car as well

[@The66Leadfoot]

Think I'll allow my dealership tech to deal with this repair. Great video!

[@speedydanny4624]

thats it?? the new sensor comes "calibrated" and what i need to do is just to reset the position via diag?

[@agoodneighborautorepair2176]

Very nice explanation and information, blessings

[@jandjw06]

I have replaced this sensor 2Xs and I am still getting Power Streering fault and ESC. What else could it be?

[@moreno101791]

Steering wheel motor/ module. Just get the whole column from junk yard

[@LocoBeeFPV]

Omg..someone make a vid for the 3.6 Malibu/G6!! A dozen videos for the electronic steering only 4 cylinder vids....going crazy here!

[@barryaiello3127]

OMG, it's the same exact thing.

[@Poop-nu1so]

[@FingersBlazin]

I have noticed that some days my 2007 Pontiac G6 starts in the morning without power steering, then magically later it works fine. GM insists that I have no recalls for my VIN of G6.

[@madinahboy]

FingersBlazin its actually extended warranty till 150k miles, i called today

[@seeeLAH1]

@@madinahboy that's great so I'm pretty much FUCKED as my 06 G6 just rolled over 150k 😭

[@fatboy7185]

Where are you and how much for u to do this

[@poloreyes6184]

how long does the labor take from start to finish

[@connorsweeney7744]

What size snap ring plier is that? How wide will it need to go?

[@nymincho]

No calibration required?

[@user-es8hk5dn2l]

What about explorer 13

[@49dsa505]

Does the whole sensor housing need to be removed or can it be changed while still hooked up to car?

[@danielbradbury3555]

Needs to be removed

[@mynameisrick7]

Thank you!!!

[@dennflorida]

once you install it it doesn't need to be calibrated, should work right away. Also once you take the column and motor apart check the 1inch rubber thats in between, they suffer from that, if the rubber is damaged your steering won't work, very very tricky! if you get the c0450 code with a 64 malfunction(steering slipping) its this little piece of rubber thats broken! if its just c0450 then your motor is dead.

[@Tanstattoo]

Frank Mir what rubber? Do you have a part number?

[@dulceCcastillo]

Hello, where can i get the torque sensor, I had the steering motor replaced and it turns out the torque sensor is ehat is causing the issue but they are charing me alone 150 to diagnose the vehicle, so i was wondering where i can purchase one

[@ChaddyMack]

I'm having trouble just unplugging the middle cord from the motor, I can't get it out for the life of me

[@scottsherman5262]

I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but you just pull the blue retaining clip out completely & then it unplugs easily.

[@bodorgirl]

I have a 2007 Chevy Malibu and I'm getting a message to check power steering and service airbag. are there any videos for these?

[@jasonjames2805]

JoAnn did you find out the problem?? I have the same isse..

[@heidi7206]

Me too

[@Sk8Muski]

Did anyone found the problem?

[@cobber231]

any trick to remove snap ring? its a pain in the ass

[@timothydenette6735]

Gm makes a large set of snap ring pliers that are to be used on this and also for the big snap ring in the 6l series trans.

[@seeeLAH1]

lol goin to get this done sooon.. didn't know there was a recall

[@claudelldavis9640]

[@seeeLAH1]

@@claudelldavis9640 yep I did.. it took about 8 hrs. Dropped it off before work when I got off shuttle bus was there for me when it was ready. Car turns better now :D

[@calitri76]

What about re cal?

[@tblank216]

Don’t you have to recalibrate?

[@CHAKIAMIN]

What I have to do after changing position sensor? Because when I turn on the car the steering wheel spins like crazy to the right

[@isaacestrada4578]

CHAKIAMIN did you ever fix your car because I have the same problem? can tell me how you did it of you did

[@CARTERSPORT]

Isaac Estrada did you ever fix yours as well?

[@TheHarrisal21]

Has to be calibrated. Unfortunately has to be done at the dealership.

[@badbowtie7450]

@@TheHarrisal21 I am a tech that replaced this sensor on a customers car. Installed it perfect just like the video showed and wheel spun to left. I tried calibrating with my Snap-on modus and it wouldn't connect. I found an artical on identifix about this issue and it gave me a code to give to the dealer. The dealer tells me to bring it in to be calibrated. The next day and 150 bucks later I get the car back with the same problem and the dealer says the sensor was installed incorrectly. However he never disassembled the steering colomn he said he's seen this issue a million times and it's from installing the torque sensor wrong. I have an 85 year old customer and her daughter breathing down my back and in the mean time one of my employees backed into the side of her car...... Merry Freaking X-mass to me lol. Any advise?

[@ramonvalenzuela7642]

If your steering wheel turns to the left or right as soon as the key is turned on, youve installed the sensor incorrectly. The sensor was not aligned coreectly with the clip it csme with. Remove the sensor and check its aligned correctly with the clip.

[@meblake7359]

You forgot the inner snap ring and it is still sitting on the table.

[@2008jasonanderson]

New sensor comes with a factory lock on the sensor itself. Just changed out my daughters today.
