Anyone ever get a steering wheel angle sensor code, C0710-5A, when changing tie rods? Got the code while changing out the tie rods on the Sierra. Well, it came on during the test drive. As my daughter was pulling out of the driveway for a test drive, we heard a rhythmic rubbing sound which turned out to be the rotor rubbing the pads unevenly. The light came on after going around the block twice.
Today it was learned that she did not tighten the tire properly, it was askew and we fixed that. The previous owner removed the screw that keeps the rotor tight against the hub. The new screw could not get through the rust and I could not find my metric tap and die set to clean up the threads. We left it off. After triple checking the tire, it on properly and securely now.
With the lift, we had to cut down the inner and outer tie rods 1/2 inch each. It was still too long, so we used the belt sander to cut them down the rest of the way until they matched the old ones. Ran out of light, driver's side is done.
Truck also has a current and often historical code for the throttle position sensor, P0121-00. Not sure what might have caused that. Drive's fine though.
