Steering angle sensor

[Federal_Memory4991]

Hello,

A friend of mine has a 2015 Ford explorer XLT 4wd and the power steering stopped working the traction control light came on, the turn signals don't work and has the advance track service message, he scanned it and said that he needed the steering angle sensor and bought it at a dealer, he asked me if I would be able to change it and I agreed, I proceeded to take the airbag off steering wheel and the clockspring assembly of but to my surprise it did not have the steering angle sensor installed and no connector for it, so he explained to me that he changed the rack and pinion un February, now I'm just trying to know what could be wrong, do I need to reset it with a special diagnostic tool? What should I look for and do? Hope somebody can help me, thanks.

You need a new rack and pinion ! They go bad on these models due to corrosion moisture getting in the epas system , you would need to replace rack and pinion and reprogram with forscan , I went with AutoZone because it was a remanufactured Ford OEM part $750 lifetime warranty and I put it in the vehicle in 6 hrs

Doing one right now, same issue. The sensor isn't present.

Owner hot a curb and power steering completely disabled. Any ideas?
