Fri 05 Jan 18 18:58 Steering Wheel Position Sensor - Reset? Just had steering rack removed for new harmonic balancer install. However, mechanic was unaware of need to not move the steering wheel when column disconnected from rack! So now I'm getting a message to say that the "active handling is warming up" and this won't go away, due to the swps thinking that the wheels aren't pointing forwards.

Please be ultra carefull here as damage can be done to the airbag ribbon connector at the steering wheel if rack has been reftted off centre take care back to mechanic and get him to refit should not need resetting if installed back correctly

Thu 18 Jan 18 15:35 Re: Steering Wheel Position Sensor - Reset? The problem is that the steering wheel IS centered, however when disconnected from the rack it spins freely BUT there is only one position where it is 'right'. I have borrowed a 'fancier than normal' OBD2 reader (Autel MOT Pro) and discovered that you can get a live reading of the analog voltage being monitored by the steering wheel position sensor. Apparently, 2.5v is what should be read when the steering wheel is in the 'right' position (changes by approx 1v per revolution).
