I received my steering wheel, and attempted an install, but I failed in so many ways, even though I have taken the steering wheel off before. For one thing, I didn't disconnect the negative terminal good enough, and it connected during the process, which caused the slip and abs light to come on. Second, I forgot to loosen the nut without removing it completely, so when I pulled on the steering wheel, it came off in a jerk, and when it did, the clock spring got pulled in the process. The clock spring top came off and unwound. A few clips broke. Ugh.
I was able to wind the band of wires inside the clock spring and close the top. The ABS and slip light is on. The cruise control doesn't work, and the car is basically without any nannies. Honestly, the situation is pretty nice like doing the pedal dance. I'm surprised more people don't force this situation, but alas, I need my traction control and ABS in some situations, and I like the cruise control, so I'll need to remedy this situation.
I think the clock spring is good enough. I think the problem is that I need to do a zero calibration.
I looked into downloading Techstream, but I found that there is a manual method of applying paper clips to the 13/TC and 4/CG plugs of the OBD2/DLC3 port.

Performing Zero Point Calibration WITHOUT using Diagnostic Computer
1. If the vehicle is equipped with A/T, ensure that the shift lever is in the "P" range and the parking brake is applied. If the vehicle is equipped with a M/T, ensure that the parking brake is applied.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Using a paper clip or auto wire, repeat a cycle of short and open between terminals Ts and CG (Pin 13 and pin 4) of DLC3,(16 pin Data Link Connector located under the steering wheel side) 5times within 8 seconds.
4. Verify that the VSC indicator light is lit indicating the recorded zero point is erased.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Be sure the terminals Ts and CG of DLC3 are disconnected.
7. Turn the ignition switch ON.
8. Check that the VSC warning light goes off about 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.
9. After ensuring that the VSC warning light remains OFF for 2 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Connect terminals Ts and CG of DLC3 using paper clip or auto wire.
11. Turn the ignition switch ON.
12. After turning the ignition switch ON, check that the VSC warning light is lit for about 4 seconds and then starts quick blinking at 0.13 second intervals.
13. After ensuring the blinking of the VSC warning light for 2 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.
14. Remove the clip from terminals Ts and CG of DLC3.
15. Drive the vehicle for at least 5 minutes to confirm Zero Point Calibration is complete.

I will try this Thursday on my next day off.
