    I've been having issues with my traction control engaging on tight corners ever since I had my rack and pinion replaced. The shop I took it to has done multiple ZPC's ( I've also done a few at home using the paperclip method), but the issue remains. My truck does have a leveling kit and 33" tires, so the shop said I needed to return it to stock to remedy the issue. The problem I have with that is the truck had the tires and leveling kit on it prior to the rack being replaced and I never had an issue with the traction control before. So, with that in mind, have those of you with tires, leveling kits, and lifts experienced this issue?

    I have the same problem after replacing steering rack. Its not your lift and tires. Its a sensor problem.

    In my case I think I over-rotated my steering wheel. The zero point is supposed to center the "Steering Angle Sensor", which is located under the steering wheel. However, I don't think the system can zero the sensor if its been rotated beyond 360 deg. But I am not entirely sure.

    There are two parts under the steering wheel. The Clock Spring is a wire bundle that handles the horn and steering wheel buttons. BUT I think it also has something to do with how the Steering Angle Sensor functions.

    I havent dug deep into this problem yet, I've had other issues I've been working on. No matter how many times I do a Zero Point, I cant get the steering sensor values (there are multiples software values the ECU reads) to zero out. My next step is to take apart the steering wheel and inspect the sensors. I bought a new Clock Spring because its cheap and my horn doesn't work, but I'm starting to think I need a new Steering Angle Sensor, which is several hundo.

    I do plan on tackling this in the next few weeks. I'll try to keep everyone posted.

    See these threads and lets keep the information organized for other guys:
