I have been having this issue for a while, and just choose to hit the VDC off button and drive around with the VDC OFF and SLIP lights on, but I figure I should get it fixed...

Backstory, the car was TT'd and during the removal process, the steering column was unhooked at the couping, and the steering wheel was never locked into place. So, the steering wheel spun freely for the time it was in the shop. The wheel is straight, but could be 360, 720, etc degrees from where it should be.

Is there any way to tell how many times, and in what direction, the wheel needs to be spun to get it back to "0 degrees?"

Thanks!

 

anyone?

 

Make sure the steering wheel is straight with the wheels and take it to the dealer to reset the steering angle.

 

I'm having this same problem when I installed my headers. How were you able to get it to the correct position?

 

You needed to remove your steering wheel when you installed your headers?

 

Did you read this thread?

Yeah longtube headers on my hr the stock headers would not come out. When I had my de I didn't have that problem they came out easy

 

Yeah I did my question is do I need to reset it or would the light just turn off when it's in the correct position??

 

I'm going to guess a "reset" is required, but that's all I can say - never done it. Might take a few attempts, but at least you know what the issue is, and a methodical approach will yield a good result.

 

Ugh, what a pain. The issue other than just the reset is that you need to be sure you have enough slack in your clock spring so that it doesn't get damaged when you do a full rotation of the steering (far left to far right). You can spend a lot of time fiddling with it or just take it to a dealership and tell them to pull the wheel, line up the clock spring and reset it with the CONSULT tool. It shouldn't cost more than $150.
