Default 1999 C5 Steering Sensor

Looking for someone who can take my used 1999 C5 Steering Sensor and "Center It" before installation. Willing to pay for your service. Thanks

This would have to be done on your car with a Tech2.
Where are you located?

Plug it in without installing it on the column. Turn the key on. Turn it until you measure about 2.5V on the light blue wire.

If you want to double check your work, turn it each way until you find the minimum and maximum voltage readings. Then, figure out the voltage half way between those and set it to that voltage.
