Steering angle sensor

Hello, I would like to know if anyone knows where its located and how difficult it is to replace my steering angle sensor because its causing my BAS light to come on.
Thanks

It is part of the steering column, they the sensor is bad the whole column needs to be replaced. if you have code 1140 then you can get away with changing the rotor. for that you need to remove the column D&A it replace the rotor. then put it in a press to reassemble it. Not really a DIY job. Good Luck

Thanks MLG, I was hoping it wouldn't be that difficult. The dealer is going to love me, can you say bend over.

The rotor is only $50, but the labor is 4.5hr
