I spent the day replacing my lower steering column today. Finally got it in (what a job) but now, The steering is off by about ep degrees and this is throwing up all kinds of errors.
Is there a easy way to fix this or do I have to dismantle the whole column again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks all

Your steering angle sensor is upset, because the wheel is not straight, but the car drives straight, it upsets the whole thing!
It's important to lock the steering wheel in the right place before you start doing the lower column. It's also important not to spin the steering wheel while it's disconnected, or you'll screw up the clockspring (the device that connects all the steering wheel functions to the car through a rotating joint)
Yes, you will probably need to take it apart and do it again, hopefully you can find the original position for the wheel, and hope it's not one whole turn out!Richard
