NOTE: This DTC will possibly set if the battery has been disconnected. Before performing any diagnostics confirm that the steering angle sensor is calibrated correctly. If the DTC is current, and the battery has been previously disconnected, perform the following procedure to recalibrate the steering angle sensor.
  1. Turn the ignition switch on.
  2. Rotate the steering wheel to the center position.
  3. Rotate the steering wheel to the full left stop.
  4. Rotate the steering wheel to the full right stop.
  5. Rotate the steering wheel back to the center position.
  6. Sensor recalibration is now complete, and the ESP/BAS light should be off. If the light is still on, continue to Step 1 of the Diagnostic Test for this DTC.
