SWPS Question, Verification
Hello All,
I have found great information here about the steering wheel position sensor. Long story short, while in the shop for engine work, the steering wheel was turned 360 degree's one way or the other. Luckily, I can turn the wheel full stop both right and left without the airbag sensor going off!
I couldn't find a new sensor (that I could afford), so I bought a used one. I want to make sure it is centered before I have it installed. I measured the resistance between pins 1 and 6 and pins 2 and 6. They were not equal. 1/4 turn and now they are both the same, 5.56k ohms.
Does it sound like I have it centered?
I appreciate your feedback!
Tom

If my method is correct, I may try and get a connector I could plug into the SWPS with wires that extend out far enough for me to measure with the meter.
