Steering Angle Sensors: The 12-Entry Family
The family: twelve entries
The steering angle sensor family of this catalogue holds 12 entries, each filed under its own reference. Three entries are deep-checked and are walked below; the remaining entries are listed by number in the family listing, and any number can be sent for a check against its entry. As everywhere in this catalogue, the entry's own data — its title, article number and application listing where one is recorded — is the authority for what a given reference fits.
19150081
The entry referenced 19150081 records its application as Truck and its brand as OEMEMBER. Those are the fields this entry prints. It is the family's first deep-checked reference, and a confirmation for this number is made from its entry together with the vehicle named in the inquiry; where the entry is silent on a detail an order turns on, that detail is confirmed at inquiry against the old part.
Two dimensioned entries
Two further entries record their dimensions in inches. The entry referenced 19418403 / 20910871 records a total length of 4.02 in, a line length of 3.74 in and a diameter of 3.07 in, with its warranty line as printed; its application field is blank in the source record. The entry referenced 15231656 / 26069756 records a total length of 5.12 in, a line length of 3.62 in and a diameter of 3.62 in, an item weight of 0.09 pounds and its warranty line as printed; its application field is likewise blank. Blank fields are reported as blank: where an entry leaves its application unrecorded, the match is confirmed at inquiry against the old part rather than filled in from the family title.
What the entries do not record
The entries record titles, article numbers, dimensions and warranties as walked above. They do not record a fitting or calibration procedure, and this article does not supply one: whether a teach-in or calibration procedure applies to your model after fitting, and what it involves, is set by the maker's service information for that model. The catalogue side of an order covers the part itself — its OE number, its entry and the application listing where one is recorded.
How this family is filed
The family's twelve entries sit in the catalogue's position and steering group, alongside the 8-entry position family. The grouping is the catalogue's filing, not a claim that the families substitute for one another: a steering angle number lands on a steering entry, a crankshaft number on a position entry, and the reply to a sent number names the family as well as the entry it belongs to. Mixed lists spanning both families are answered line by line, each number against its own family's entry.
The remaining nine entries
Nine further entries complete the family's twelve. They are listed by number in the family listing, with their titles and whatever fields their records carry, and they are confirmed as the deep-checked three are: the number is read against its entry, the recorded fields are quoted back, and a field the entry leaves blank is stated as blank in the reply. A buyer whose number sits in the listing rather than in this article loses nothing by it: the confirmation route is the entry, and the entry is reached by its number from either starting point.
Dimensions, as recorded
The two dimensioned entries record their sizes in inches, and the figures are quoted in this article exactly as their records print them: total length, line length and diameter for each. No metric conversion is substituted for the printed figure, because the entry is the document a confirmation quotes back, and a converted value is not the entry's value. A buyer measuring an old unit can send the measurement with the inquiry as taken; the reply works from the number and the entry, and flags any dimension the order turns on that the entry does not record.
A worked inquiry
A complete inquiry for this family names the vehicle, gives the OE number from the old unit, and notes recent mechanical work where there has been any — alignment, column work, wheel fitting — with the fault text or lamp record as recorded. The reply names the entry the number lands on, quotes its recorded fields, and prices that entry. Where the entry's application field is blank, the reply says so and confirms the match against the old part on the evidence sent, rather than borrowing an application from a neighbouring entry.
What to send with an inquiry
Send the OE number, and note any recent alignment or steering column work in the message. If you recorded warning lamps or fault text, include them — they are filed with the inquiry, and the match is confirmed against the entry for your number. If the lamp returns, record that it returned after the teach, and include any recent mechanical work — wheel fitting, alignment, column work — in the note sent with the OE number: what a returning lamp is worked through against is set by that same service information, not assigned here. The four packaging options — OEMEMBER branded, UAP branded, blue neutral and white neutral boxes — are offered across the family, and warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation before payment.
The blank application field
Two of this family's three deep-checked entries leave their application field blank in the source record. A blank field is information of a kind: it means the confirmation for that number cannot rest on a printed application listing, and is made at inquiry against the old part — its number, its dimensions as recorded, and the vehicle it came from. Sending a photograph of the old unit alongside its number supports that check. What is never done with a blank field is filling it from the family title or from a neighbouring entry: the reply states the field is blank, and confirms the match on the evidence sent.
Key takeaways
The steering angle family holds 12 entries. The deep-checked references are 19150081 (application: Truck), 19418403 / 20910871 (4.02 in total length) and 15231656 / 26069756 (5.12 in total length, 0.09 pounds); the two dimensioned entries leave their application fields blank, so their matches are confirmed at inquiry against the old part. The entries record no fitting or calibration procedure. Send the OE number, and note any recent alignment or column work in the inquiry.
