Wheel Angle Sensor (WAS) Installation
The Wheel Angle Sensor (WAS) Installation chapter information is provided in the following section:
• Overview
• Wheel Angle Sensor Installation
Overview
If the vehicle does not come with a factory installed steering system with a factory installed Wheel Angle Sensor, the vehicle
will need to have a Wheel Angle Sensor installed. In most situations, if the vehicle is “Steer Ready” from the factory, this
section can be skipped during the installation; however some factory supplied Wheel Angle Sensors are not compatible with
the GeoSteer system. Contact the vehicle’s service provider to verify if the vehicle is “Steer Ready” prior to beginning the
installation. If the factory installed Wheel Angle Sensor is not compatible, a Wheel Angle Sensor will be part of the installation
kit.
Note: Refer to this section only if this installation requires the installation of a Wheel Angle Sensor.
If the vehicle has a Wheel Angle Senor as part of the
installation, always shut off the vehicle when working
around the steering axle while installing, checking, and
adjusting the Wheel Angle Sensor and rod lengths. The
steering axle could move suddenly and cause severe injury
or death.
