Standard Ignition SWS36 Steering Angle Sensor

Steering Angle Sensor Replacement

The Standard Ignition SWS36 is a direct-fit steering angle sensor for vehicles that rely on accurate steering wheel position data for electronic control systems. It restores the vehicle computer’s ability to measure steering wheel angle relative to the front wheels, helping maintain proper system operation after a failed OE sensor.

Built to OE specifications, the SWS36 is a practical replacement for Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, and select Mercedes-Benz applications. The Standard Ignition SWS36 also uses copper alloy conductors for strong electrical conductivity and low resistive loss.

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement steering angle sensor
• OE-spec design for proper fit, form, and function
• Copper alloy conductors for efficient electrical transfer
• Electrically operated sensor for steering angle measurement
• Female connector with plug-in design
• 10 male blade terminals
• Built with robust materials for service use

Detailed Description

This steering angle sensor is designed to replace damaged OE units and restore steering angle input to the vehicle’s control systems. Standard Ignition SWS36 is engineered for vehicles that require precise steering wheel angle feedback, including 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, 2008-2010 Dodge Challenger, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, and 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum. It also covers select Mercedes-Benz models such as the 2004-2005 G500, 2004-2005 G55 AMG, 2003-2004 E320, 2003-2004 E500, and 2003-2004 E55 AMG.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition SWS136 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering angle signal loss after sensor failure
• ABS, stability control, or traction control warning lights tied to steering angle input
• Incorrect steering wheel angle readings in the control module
• Faults caused by worn, damaged, or non-functioning OE sensor units
• Drivability issues related to steering angle data errors

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. The SWS36 uses a female plug-in connector with 10 male blade terminals, so matching the OE connector layout is important for proper installation. After replacement, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s calibration or relearn procedure if required by the steering system.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition builds this sensor to OE specification using durable materials and copper alloy conductors to support reliable electrical performance. The robust construction is intended to meet the demands of professional service environments.
