ABS/Traction lights after replacing EPS Dampener

[Alfrz]

So I finally replaced my EPS dampener last night, and the rattles all gone

My steering wheel came all the way out during the process, and it took a lot of finagling to get it back in. It now sits at a slight angle when driving straight.

***Most importantly, how dangerous is it to drive the car with these lights on? Am I going to cause more damage?***

During my test drive afterwards the ABS/Traction lights came on(was right after a bump, but only 1minute into the drive. Not sure if the bump has anything to do with it but I figured I'd mention)

From what I've read online it's the steering angle sensor (or only needs to be calibrated?) or the clock spring broke.

-Isn't the steering angle sensor just inside of the clock spring? As in, is just buying that part simpler? There's some for very cheap on eBay.

-For calibrating, I keep seeing TechStream, is that something that it's worth it to buy it online for JUST this? or is it something to just go to a dealer for(would smaller shops carry this?)

-Is this a simple enough/become cheap enough job to buy Techstream + Clockspring and do it myself?

Literally any input is helpful and I'm really early on in the process of reading all the stuff, but these are a lot of new words and parts here for me, so any help is appreciated

So I actually saw your post on a previous thread, but I'm not even sure what I'd be looking for here. Power steering system calibration? Or were you pointing me at something else?

Just got the codes read

Ah! I had to learn this lesson again! Duuuuhhhh...
These aren't power steering fault codes. They are related to VSC. Vehicle Stability Control (nannies) are in a weird section of the manual because that control unit lives in the ABS module.

This should help

Are all those codes current? Feels like maybe the battery was left connected while working on it.

Clear codes and try again I bet you just need to straighten out your steering wheel and do the yaw sensor calibration.
