Hey yall I replaced my 04 g35 coupe steering wheel two days ago with a used oem steering wheel and airbag both wheel and airbag are in good condition and they work completely but if I leave traction control on when I initially drive the car from turning it on then when I get to a decent speed (30mph - 50mph) my brakes start to not really work and my car feels like its slipping and trying to catch traction even though its going straight. If I leave vdc off initially when turning on the car then it doesn't really do it it'll do it like once or twice then the slip light will come on then it doesn't do it again. I read the codes i have a c1143(Steering Angle Sensor circuit) and a c1145(YAW RATE Sensor). I've tried to reset the steering angle position sensor but every time I try it just says emergency stop(using an autel ts608) I'm kind of confused what to do, do i replace the sensor, the clockspring, or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I believe you need either Nissan Datascan2 or the dealership Consult2 to actually reset the steering angle sensor.

Plus you need to make sure the steering wheel is actually straight when you reset.

 

Is it his worthwhile to experiment adjusting the clockspring??
it sounds like something was allowed to slip while installing or the new clockspring was not set properly on install.

 

It's a complete guess if you didn't make match marks on the old one.

 

Hey i forgot about this thread thank yall for the help, i incorrectly installed the steering wheel causing a wire connected to the clockspring to turn with the steering wheel so it was over turning in the ecu's brain i reconnected it correctly, got an alignment and it hasnt done it since

 

Hey I recently changed my clock spring for my g35 and once I changed it everything worked horn and volume buttons. When I started driving my car started “braking” on its own and then the slip and vdc off lights came on! I’m not sure if I got the wrong part or I installed it wronged! Please help me fix this

 

You probably didn't make match marks on the clock spring, it also houses the steering angle sensor. Since the steering angle sensor is now likely in a different position the vehicle thinks it's sliding and is actuating the VDC system to straighten you out.

Unless you made match marks across the old steering angle sensor to compare to the new one you're going to need to schedule a 1 hour service with your local Nissan to have them recalibrate the new steering angle sensor.

That sensor needs to be installed EXACTLY the same way it came out, you can't even be off by 1 spline.

 

Hello, I went to my local mechanic and they erased the lights but they came back on?! Supposedly they need to inspect it and replace the clock spring which they quoted $500!

 

It's very possible if you installed your steering wheel incorrectly like i did(i.e the air bag wires were getting caught during rotations of the wheel) you could need a clock spring cause they are very fragile i don't know the exact amount for how much it should cost but it is possible to do it yourself

 

Also if you did not mark the clockspring when you replaced the steering wheel like another user on the thread said then that could also be your issue but figuring out where it was set at before is possible but difficult. Look through the forums cause im pretty sure someone made a thread talking about how to know if your clockspring is centered or not

 

You're probably going to need to schedule a 1 hour service with Nissan to have them reprogram the steering angle sensor.
