Вставка

- Hi guys/gals, I have uploaded this video for my dad with his hopes of saving y'all some money and a headache. This "sensor kit" was discovered after we had replaced the power steering control module and motor and it did not fix the problem.
Here is a link to the video that was mentioned:
• Chevy Malibu / Pontiac...
Also in case you do not have a pen and paper handy, the GM part number for the torque sensor is 23232310
Here is a link to one of the places to purchase the sensor:

So I was headed to work and my wheel started yanking me back and forth so bad I thought I was going to end up in the passing lane into on coming traffic!! It was TERRIFYING!! I absolutely love my car but IM PRAYING ITS A RECALL!! Because $ these days is tight! I doubt its going to be covered for whatever reason its JUST MY LUCK! Sounds like it should be however no idea if it will still be... oh... its an '05. Crossing my fingers regardless. Thank~You for posting this video. I appreciate you!! 💯
Muchas gracias por tu información 🙏
Thanks good buddy. Appreciate you. This applies to Chev Malibu as well.
I have a Pontiac G6 2009 and the ESC light and power steering warnings come on. If I turn my car on and off it usually fixes the issue. Is this the problem? The torque sensor? And if so would a shop be Able to replace just the sensor or does it Half to be in an assembly with a new rack and pinion
A defective steering angle sensor is indicated by the Traction Control Light turning on and needing Steering Torque Sensor also for the Power Steering Warning on Radio Info Screen.
Good luck partner, if your lucky you may not ave to calibrate the new sensor.
I was driving my 08 G6 and the Power steering came on so some days later the light stayed on and it was very difficult to drive. I made it to my destination. I let it sit for 1hr and It drove fine and the power steering didnt come back on. Any idea???
@Sam Yaza thank you sir
Hey Christopher, John here, its a 90% chance the torque sensor is bad. The only way to be absolutely sure is to hook up a scan tool and query the voltage of the sensor. But this is exactly how my friends was acting. He bought a motor and it didn’t fix it. That’s how we got to the sensor. And the reason I made the video. Gm has got a huge racket going on this. They should fix it for you but I bet they won’t. It’s not a huge deal to change but I will warn you , your going to need a large pair of snap ring pliers cause the ring they have holding that tube on is gigantic!!
John Fenoglio awesome thanks for the help my man. I think I’ll probably order the sensor, it sounds like that’s the main culprit most of the time. Hopefully for $150 for the sensor and another little bit to have a shop calibrate my sensor that I will be back in the game if Pontiac decides to really play hardball and refuse to fix it. Yes you are right, they are up a creek with no paddle but hey, guess they didn’t go out of business for no reason. Probably why they are deciding not to fix mine.
Hey John real quick question here. Replaced everything and seems to be working fine now after replacing that torque sensor. Thanks a bunch. Only thing is that it feels just a little bit easier to turn to the left than the right. It’s not that bad, but does that mean I should have the system recalibrated?
What did he say?
Hey so i bought my car December 22,2019 the car is a 2006 pontiac g6 well the previous owner she never had any problems with the power steerng before i asked her well i had it for a month an the power steering message popped up on the screen an would lock up on me so i would shut my car off an turn it back on some times i had to do that 3 or 4 times to get it unlocked then it just started to stay locked up an every now an then it will be unlocked when i turn my car on then 2 mins later its locked up if i don't have to spend so much money i would rather not waste money on a part i do not need an also when i press on my brakes to slow down an stop my steering wheel starts to shake very badly what all do u think it could be please help!!!!
Did you get advice? I have the same problem now.
@@miabillings3373 did u get advice
we have a 2006 g6 that the steering just started to go whacky
can we still take it to a gm dealer and get it fixed for free?
can the sensor be replaced easily?
Hey John great video I’m going through the same thing. My car says “power steering” and “service ESC” (stability control). Would that be the same as what yours was saying? I watched that other video and this looks doable, better than spending a grand or more at the dealer I’m sure on a car only worth a couple thousand to begin with. My power steering will like reset itself after turning the car on and off, I really hope it’s only this sensor. My car was doing a shaking steering wheel when turning to the right the last couple months before it went out. Please let me know what you think.
Funny thing is that I called my dealer and they said there is a special bulletin for my year and VIN, saying that they would replace the parts for up to 10 years or 150k whichever comes first. So I think, great, except my car has 150,200 miles and they say they can’t do anything even though I’ve been having problems with it for a couple thousand miles now. Still fighting with them bc I think I have a case and they are just being deliberately rude.
Hi Christopher, I will have my dad read and respond to your comment!
Tim Fenoglio awesome thank you so much! Feel free to send me a DM if you want

There is a recall bulletin that address this problem. It covers a number of GM vehicles with this torque sensor part number.

Unfortunately GM stated my VIN is not covered, even though its a 2009 Pontiac G6.
Looks like GM made a how to video but isn't available to the general masses :(
GM is no help. Lots of folks have the problem and GM just tells them its not covered.
Lot of times just useing electrical clean will fix it. My. Steairing wheel was hell to turn I spray. The hell out of all Electrical. Parts even in to the. Scencer It works great now Thea’s. Connection get. Corroaded And don’t get full voltage. Wich. Your scencer on the steairing wheel. Is controlled by the amount of voltage you apply by turning the wheel. With magnetic. Feild. As I understand.
What if you lose power steering and it just says power steering, nothing else. If you turn the car off for a minute or so and start it back up the power steering works again! Is that the power steering assist motor module?
I would change the sensor first and have it calibrated. If that doesn't fix it then change the module
@@tjf9948 Well, they hooked it up and that computer said its the module so they replaced it. That module was replaced under recall 5 years ago and its bad again? Awful design!
@@johninjersey glad to hear you got it fixed
Jersey John if you don’t mind me asking how much did it cost you?
@@brycelocke7325 Way too much! First they replaced the power steering assist motor and module which was an $700 bill. But a week later it happened again. This time it was the torque sensor. They replaced the steering column this time. Just picked it up yesterday. Another $500 bill. Of course, its not likely both were the problem but you're stuck. They cant put your old part back. That was returned for the CORE charge. So it cost me $1200 total :( It damn sure better be fixed now. The steering column replacement has a lifetime warranty
is there a video describing how to get to the sensor?
under the driver side dash on the steering column
@@tjf9948 Thanks for getting back Tim. I found a remanufactured column for 230 bucks on Parts Geek so i was thinking of just replacing the whole column myself. Part Number: 18340-07745417
@@MikeMillerEdit It would be worth it to take it to GM and have them scan it to see if its the module or the sensor then go from there.
@@tjf9948 thats 160 bucks though. they popped in the scanner when i got there. not use if its the scanner your talking about. i wanted a second opinion and opted out of the 160 bucks
Can someone send me a link to where i can get the sensor i have a 2006 pontiac g6 my power steering stops working while driving but it starts back working when i pull over and restart the car it completely went out today after watching this video im sure its the sensor

Tim Fenoglio thanks you know how much this repair would cost at a mechanic shop ?
yes
Hi Mark Hayes I have pontiac g6 2009 there was an error show power steering and service transaction. Also steering is too hard when it turn what is the problem with that....
They will fix called a privacy policy instead of recall getting mines fixed tomorrow
Will they fix if out of warranty and not original owner?
Buuu
