The steering angle sensor in your car tends to wear itself into the land of excessive resistance. The SAI sensor sends signals through the controller area network which, if invalid, will turn off components such as abs, EAS, and traction control. HDC is controlled by the ABS modulator. So, in short, you can calibrate the sensor every time it faults by stopping the vehicle and turning the wheel lock to lock, or you can more permanently replace the steering angle sensor. |

Hi thanks for the reply the only way I can reset this fault is by plugging it in to a computer but could this still be steering angle sensor it resets lock to lock if battery disconnected but that's the only time hope this makes sence |

The sensor is at the base of the column, not terrible to get to. Just replace and recalibrate. |
