Default Active Handling Problem

I Just recently got everything back together after having the motor redone. Now I have and active handling problem. When I'm in reverse it sometimes will go off and when I turn all the way to the right when I'm going forward. I don't know what it could be? Did I miss any sensors while putting the cradle back in or what. Could you forum memebers please help me out.

Did you change anything in the suspension? Lower the car, change the attitude?

I have read several folks have issues after making those adjustments.

I dropped the cradle and yea I'm pretty sure it's installed right. I had a lot of codes but deleted them all after watching that video while deleting it the one stayed on.

If so are you certain the rack is properly reinstalled and steering wheel correctly centered.?

With no codes and the symptoms you are stating, sounds like steering wheel is not centered properly or the steering wheel sensor is going out.
Several reports of that sensor going bad and not reporting codes.
In case you missed it 8VETTE7, this is the code from an earlier post.

B0026 is a airbag issue. I think 8VETTE7 may have identified the issue.

Well the car has a sparco racing steering wheel. So I guess there's the answer to why that one is on
