I got into a accident back in January but have just gotten it back in working order. I cleared all the codes yesterday before I took it out to make sure everything is working but keep getting this one code along with the ESP and ABS lights coming on.

1 Fault Found:
00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent

Currently the car needs a bit of an alignment as the steering wheel is cranked about 20 degrees to the left while the wheels are going straight. Is there a way for me to reset the sensor to this positioning for now? I have to drive back to school 200 miles away tomorrow so if I can get it working properly tonight or tomorrow morning that would be the best.

 

Anyone??

 

Why do you need your ABS and ESP back??? I've been driving without them for months. I have a bad ABS sensor which throws both off. Just get your alignment issues checked and do everything mechanically, then worry about the sensor. It may have even been damaged in the crash and need replacement.

 

get an alignment first, i remember reading something you can do with vag com about the steering angle sensor. do you know if your abs works? also check your inner brake pad

 

I got the alignment done quickly last night but they found out that the upper rear control arms are bent a bit so thats throwing the rear off. When i get back home in a month I'll replace the arms and then take it for a full alignment.
