Default Fixed my car tonight :D

Ever since I had the cam installed I have been getting "active handling warming up", "Service Active Handling", and "Service Vehicle Soon" messages on the DIC. They drove me nuts. Not having traction control was a bit of a pain too, but luckily I don't live where it snows/rains a lot (was actually low 70's today).

WELL, I had searched and searched for the problem and finally found an old thread here on the forum. Apparently what happened is when they put my steering rack back in the car the steering column got turned 360* so the Active Handling sensors that monitor the angle of the wheels and the angle of the steering wheel were somewhat confused and would disable the system.

The amazing part is that I had no idea which way to turn the steering wheel to put it back to normal. So I turned it right and that was right. Fixed it first try :D Drove around for a few miles and NO MORE MESSAGES!!!
