Dbaker8 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 So I replaced the heater core in my 2010 Journey which requires the removal of the steering column. After everything was put back together, my stability control lights come on either immediately or after I've turned the steering wheel a certain amount. I've tried the recalibration of the steering angle sensor and have had no success. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 There is a lot of things that had to be unplugged during the job. I would go over as many plug connectors as possible; try to pull them apart to make sure they are clicked together properly. You said steering angle singular had an attempted reprogram. I thought there is a right and left sensor. Need a pretty decent and up to date scanner to calibrate this. Almost a dealer job really. There is often a gyro angle sensor as well for stability control. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to disturb the safety sensors on newer cars. I recently had a friend (who is a very recently retired mechanic) decide to replace his outer tie rods on his 4 yr old Rav4. He was very careful but he still ended up disturbed steering sensors. Dealer gave him big lecture on how he shouldn’t be working on his own car and reprogrammed it for $150ish. He did the math and fully intends to keep getting the lectures... because he is still saving significant money anyway. Heater core labor would have been crazy.
