Default Stupid question tpms/active handling warming up

My RF tpm is dead. I got new tires on the front, had the tire guys put new o-rings on the sensors bc they constantly leaked. They switched the sensors right to left ...in the rims.
My dead sensor is now on the LF. Car throws DIC for right front deadtps and says n/a or something for the RF even tho its now on the LF....makes sense, car thinks its on the RF still, haven't trained tires bc LF is dead so I can't run the magnet procedure.

PROBLEM: I replaced the steering rack at the same time, alignment etc. and now it won't stop telling me the active handling is warming up, it never completes or goes away. tells me service tc, etc....I was careful to not turn the wheel while installing rack, its on straight, centered at least.

Any ideas before I climb under and test the steering sensor?
Would TPS cause any issues for tc, ah?

The tps has been dead for months but on correct side with no problems besides no reading from it , and its warning msg....
Thanks in advance.

U1255 Serial Data Line Malfunction
U1096 Loss of Communication with IPC
U1064 Loss of Communication with BCM
Think These are just from disconnecting / installing new battery.
Do have this...C1255 EBTCM Internal Malfunction it was in history...
c1283; This is why I thought to test steering sensor.

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,, If you failed to maintain the correct steering rack to steering wheel position alignment, you will get this message/error. The EBTCM thinks the car is in a constant turn and can not complete it null alignment test.

That would be my first guess since you had the rack out.

I'll have it figured out by end of day,, the steering sensor at least, I hope it's off 360, it drives straight for sure I probably spun the rack while jamming it in. Thanks for the input I'm of to the shop, I'll report back.
