    Steering angle position error. Trip to dealership for a reset/update will correct issue.

    Your alignment must of been crazy off to cause this error.

    that BS! Also is that a traction control light appearing. Did the damage the ABS speed sensor wire upfront somewhere? I have a 2011 & 2022 and never had that light come on after several alighments.

    Is your steering wheel centered when you drive straight? If so, do you get the same number of turns to full lock turning left as you do turning right? If you do, then just disconnect the battery negative cable, wait a few minutes, then re-connect it to reset the zero point stored in the stability control ECU memory.

    The first time you start the engine after battery disconnection, the engine may stumble and die. Restart and everything should be back to normal. Depending on how far north you are, you'll also need to re-enter your compass region number or the compass may deviate.
