In rare cases, repeated movement of the steering column may cause a signal interruption within the column. If this occurs, the message, “Service Active Handling System” will appear in the Driver Information Center, and one or more of the brakes may apply, possibly causing the vehicle to pull to the right or left. If the driver does not respond to the change in vehicle movement, a crash could occur. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Remove the driver’s side closeout (insulator) panel. 2. Locate the Steering Wheel Position Sensor (SWPS) connector that connects to the steering angle sensor, located on the lower center of the steering column. Note: Determine if the (SWPS) connector has a clip installed into the connector, or if tape and a band tie was used to prevent movement of the terminals. • If the SWPS connector has the clip or tape and band tie repair, install the driver’s side closeout (insulator) panel. No further action is required. • If the SWPS connector does NOT have the clip or tape and band tie repair, proceed to Step 3. 3. Install the new clip into the connector.
