It is actually the 8 AND 4 hand position. By placing your hands at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock, you take your hands and arms out of the path of an airbag opening up (in a crash)
Come to our forum and ask there. I do not know about a steering wheel position sensor. www.trailvoy.com
To unlock the steering wheel on a 1993 Honda place the key in the on position. Doing so will free the steering wheel.
Low Power Steering Fluid
What aspect of the steering wheel/system? If you just want to raise or lower the steering wheel, there should be a handle on the left side of the steering column about halfway between the back of the steering wheel and the dashboard. Just push the handle down to unlock and adjust the steering wheel and up to re-lock it once it's in the desired position...
9 and 3
Try wiggling the steering wheel
If it is GM it is Centering malfunction, steering wheel position center did not detect a centered wheel. Bad steering wheel position sensor, poor wiring connection, or bad EBCM (ABS control module)....check the connections first.
The best hand position for straight ahead steering is to think of the steering wheel as a clock. The best position would be to have the hands on the 3 and the 9, which is what people are taught when learning how to drive.
SOMETIMES IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TRY JIGGERING THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND.
The red steering wheel in the instrument cluster means that the steering wheel is not locked into position. There should be a black lever on the left or right side of the steering column. This is the lever to release when you want to adjust the steering wheel up or down. Push the lever back up to lock into place and the indicator should go out. If it is still on when the steering wheel is locked, then that could be a electrical fault with the sensor.
SQUEAK = FAULTY STEERING WEEL PUMP ,,,change it .
Stuck? Key ? Fiddle with steering wheel and key at same time. Pressure of steering wheel in hard turned position can prevent unlock.
