Hello guys, I need some help.
My car horn, was failing, the fuse, relay and horn was fine. Finally I detected that the problem was the clock spring.
Then after replace the clock spring the horn is working fine but my dashboard It lighted up with 2 icons (slip indicator and Electronic Power Steering warning), I used a car code reader and I got a error "C1433 steering angle sensor internal circuit".
After read a lots of articles in internet all says that is needed recalibrate the SAS (steering angle sensor). I donīt want to spend a lots of money in the the car agency.
Any one have idea if this procedure using the diagnostic wires is safe and work with my prado 150 series http://alflash.com.ua/tsb/ZERO%20POI...ALIBRATION.pdf
Or if any one can share with me other ideas about how I can fix this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi mate,

Did you find a solution?

Shouldn't need to do anything to steering angle when replacing a clock spring unless you somehow removed the unit or turned the wheel before putting it all back together. I wouldn't over think it, maybe reset the error codes, you didnt do something like ignition on when doing the clock spring did you? Reset the codes and see if that helps.

I'll second that Piggy. I just did my clock spring / spiral cable and accidentally unplugged the steering angle sensor before disconnecting the battery. I actually built a circuit to replicate the MENU, UP, DOWN, ENTER and MTM CAMERA buttons to confirm the clock spring was the issue (which it was) before removing the airbag and replacing it.
Steering sensor corrects itself after a short drive of 50 metres or so.

Just in case it helps anyone else, I found the entire electrical wiring diagram in this Prado 150 Service Manual (2009-2013) on eBay for $16

This is my first post I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules, but I searched high and low for that manual, even paid $5/hour to access online via Toyota before I found it so cheap.

Be aware that you need Windows XP or 7 and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 as highest version or the manual doesn't work.
For non-technical people who have Windows 8 or 10, what you need is a VIRTUAL MACHINE it's pretty simple to do, plenty of online guides about "virtualization".

Anyway I just wanted to put that out there, I bought my Prado in October 2018 and this website has been a wealth of information.
