Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 601-003 Steering Wheel Motion Sensor: Unparalleled Performance for Compatible Models by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The part didn't work properly so I had to buy a genuine GM sensor instead

On mine It didn't work in 2008 Trailblazer. I don't know if it was defective or incompatible, but it was worse than my old sensor. Turning the steering wheel all the way to the right immediately gave an error code. Then I bought an original GM sensor that works great. Also note that there is a sticker on the box stating that you may need to have your computer reprogrammed by the dealer. Apparently the Dorman part replaces 3 different GM parts so I suspect that may be why it is not as compatible as they claim if the computer is expecting a certain part spec. The GM sensor is made in Japan, the Dorman sensor is made in China. I recommend buying the exact GM sensor that fits your vehicle. Although the repair is fairly easy, I was unfortunate that I had to do it twice. On a positive note, I was able to return the Revain item for a full refund. I love Revan for that!

Pros
  • Make sure this part fits your vehicle, enter the make, model and trim level into Amazon Garage
Cons
  • Hard to tell
