If you have some time, HERE is a long thread on the subject. Did your 05 have the recall that addressed this done?

Maybe it was a TSB and not a recall. There is a small clip that they put over a wire harness that goes into the steering wheel position sensor. When the telescopic steering column was adjusted out it was pulling on that harness and causing active handling to activate.
It WAS a recall. Read THIS.
And THIS.

There are more than 6 reasons for the SAH error message. Each is a seperate service code , meaning a different problem and cure. You can do the steering comb fix yourself , but unless you have the error code(s) read, you have no clue if your fixing the SAH problem.
1) You must get codes read.
2) Code reader must be a professional one, not a simple one we (most of us) have.
3) SAH error message MUST be present when you turn off the car and read the error codes. Because, if error isnt present when you turn off the car (to have codes read), the codes are absent and none will be present.
There are MANY MANY posts/threads on this subject. I have the error in winter time (below 50ish) every year and ignore it until summer again, when the SAH disappears. I have had codes read and nothing makes sense, so i ignore it.
You dont want to read this entire thing i wrote long long ago, but good read down to the '####(end of summary details)####' in red.
