Honda CR-V: Steering Angle Sensor Replacement

NOTE: Do not damage or drop the combination switch as the steering angle sensor is sensitive to shock and vibration.

1. Remove the steering wheel.

2. Remove the steering column covers and the cable reel.

3. Remove the combination switch assembly.

4. Remove the combination light switch (A) and the wiper/washer switch (B).

5. Replace the combination switch body (C).

6. Install the combination switch in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:

• Do not remove the steering angle sensor from the combination switch body.
• When installing the cable reel , set the turn signal canceling sleeve position.

Yaw Rate-Lateral Acceleration Sensor Replacement

NOTE:

• Do not damage or drop the sensor as it is sensitive.
• Do not use air or electric impact tools.

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Remove both sides of the center lower cover.

3. Disconnect the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector (A).

4. Remove the sensor mounting bolts, and remove the yaw rate-lateral acceleration sensor (B).

5. Install in the reverse order of removal.

VSA Off Switch Test

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Remove the power mirror switch (A), then disconnect the VSA OFF switch 5P connector (B).

3. Push out the VSA OFF switch (C) from the back of the switch panel.

4. Check for continuity between the VSA OFF switch 5P connector terminal No.1 and No. 2. There should be continuity when the switch is pressed, and no continuity when the switch is released.

5. Check for continuity between the VSA OFF switch 5P connector terminal No.4 and No.5. There should be continuity at all times.

VSA Modulator-Control Unit Removal and Installation

NOTE:

• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint. wash it off immediately with water.
• Be careful not to damage or deform the brake lines during removal and installation.
• To prevent the brake fluid from flowing, plug and cover the hose ends and joints with a shop towel or equivalent material.

Removal

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector (A) by pulling up the lock (B); the connector disconnects itself.

3. Disconnect the six brake lines from the VSA modulator-control unit.

NOTE: Brake lines are connected to the master cylinder (C) and to the right-front (D), the left-rear (E), the right-rear (F), and the left-front (G) brake systems.

4. Remove the VSA modulator-control unit (H) with the bracket (I) from the body.

5. Remove the locknuts (J), then remove the VSA modulator-control unit from the bracket.

NOTE: During installation, install a new bushing (K) and new grommet (L). Otherwise, unwanted noise and vibration may be transmitted to the vehicle.

Installation

1. Install the new bushing and new grommets. (Otherwise, unwanted noise and vibration may be transmitted to the vehicle.) 2. Install the VSA modulator-control unit on the bracket, then install new locknuts.

3. Install the bracket with the VSA modulator-control unit.

4. Reconnect the six brake lines, then tighten the flare nuts with the specified torque.

5. Align the connecting surface of the VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector to the VSA modulator-control unit.

6. Lower the lock of the VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector, then confirm the connector is fully seated.

7. Bleed the brake system.

8. Start the engine, and check that the ABS and the VSA indicators go off.

9. Test-drive the vehicle, and check that the ABS and VSA indicators do not come on.

NOTE: If the brake pedal is spongy, there may be air trapped in the modulator and then induced into the normal brake system during modulation. Bleed the brake system again.
