You say that you have abs/traction control warning on because you were one tooth off in the steering. Did you fix it? Are you sure your clock spring did not come off? If the clock spring came off you will need a new one and then have the dealer clear the codes.
So the whole story with the column - pulling the dash beam to get the HVAC equip out of the car, I unbolted the steering column from the beam, and the wheel slid forward in my hands - clockspring and all - right off the shaft. I slid it back on, finished gutting the dash, and then started driving and the lights were on - with the wheel obviously no longer centered. Pulled it off again, rotated one tooth and put it back. Drove around the block, no more lights. I'm guessing the clockspring didn't agree with a steering sensor in the rack and it freaked. But no matter what it was it's been fine for multiple events now

I have a rollbar, race buckets, 6 pts etc in the car. It's track only from here on out
