Additional Information
| FITMENT | Fits select 2006–2012 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models equipped with a column‑mounted steering angle sensor (SAS). Not for vehicles using rack‑integrated SAS; verify by VIN and option content. Ford Explorer (2006-2010): 4.0L V6, 4.6L V8 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (2007-2010): 4.0L V6, 4.6L V8 Ford Flex (2009-2012): 3.5L V6 Ford Focus (2009-2011): 2.0L I4 Ford Fusion (2009-2012): 2.3L I4 (2009), 2.5L I4, 3.0L V6, 3.5L V6, 2.5L Hybrid Ford Mustang (2010-2011): 3.7L V6, 4.0L V6, 4.6L V8, 5.0L V8, 5.4L V8 Ford Taurus (2010-2012): 3.5L V6 Ford Taurus X (2008-2009): 3.5L V6 Ford Five Hundred (2007): 3.0L V6 Lincoln MKS (2009-2012): 3.7L V6 Lincoln MKT (2010-2012): 3.7L V6 Lincoln MKZ (2009-2012): 3.5L V6 Mercury Mountaineer (2006-2010): 4.0L V6, 4.6L V8 Mercury Milan (2009-2011): 2.3L I4 (2009), 2.5L I4, 3.0L V6, 2.5L Hybrid Mercury Sable (2008-2009): 3.5L V6 Mercury Montego (2007): 3.0L V6 |
| SYMPTOMS | Common signs of a faulty or uncalibrated SAS include ABS/ESC or 'Service AdvanceTrac' lights, intermittent or lost electric power steering assist on EPAS vehicles, and DTCs such as C1B00 (Steering Angle Sensor) with subtypes like :49 or :62. Steering may feel inconsistent after alignment until the SAS is reset. |
| TROUBLESHOOTING | Before replacement, scan for ABS/PSCM codes and check live data for angle plausibility. After any steering/suspension work or SAS replacement, perform a Steering Angle Sensor Calibration with a capable scan tool (e.g., IDS/FORScan), with the wheel physically centered, and then clear related DTCs. |
| INSTALLATION | Typical location is behind/around the clockspring on the steering column. Disconnect battery, remove column shrouds, disconnect the SAS electrical connector, replace the sensor, then reassemble. Perform SAS calibration after installation. |
| MAINTENANCE | |
| GENERAL_NOTES | Some later platforms compute steering angle within the EPAS rack and may not use a separate column SAS. For certain 2011–2012 VINs (Fusion/MKZ), confirm by VIN before ordering. |
