I'm pretty sure your steering wheel needs to be centered,should be ok once tracking is done |

You didn't accidentally disconnect/damage a ride height sensor did you? Spurious/incorrect readings can make the air suspension module throw its toys out of the pram. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

No no damage to anything, other than tearing the rubber boot on the track rod end everything came apart easy, and went back together easier. I have been reading as daxmatt said it is possibly due to the steering being out. If the steering angle sensor thinks you are turning but the wheel speeds don't match (one wheel turning more than the other if you are going around a corner), then it throws these errors up. So i am pinning my hopes on that at the moment, the place that are going to track it are around 8 miles away, but open at 8.30, so i will be waiting for them to open.

As you’ve said, the SASM is telling the BCM that you should be turning yet all the other sensors aren’t corresponding so you get a warning. Does it clear until you restart and drive the car? 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Had similar when did my front arms and had those faults come up. However in my case when I did the arms I checked the length of exposed threads at the track rod ends as per manual and found them to be out by about 10/11mm instead of 2mm so equalled them up and that put the steering wheel so far out of straight ahead position it threw up those faults. When I checked someone had removed and re-positioned actual steering wheel to compensate previously, would also have though it would be easier to do re-alignment, I refitted wheel in correct position, recalibrated the steering angle sensor with the GapIID tool and all sorted.

Thanks guys, i measured the track rod ends roughly from the end of the gator to the centre of the joint. I know its not accurate but i thought it would be somewhere near. I marked the off set washers on the front and back of the arms and they went back in the same spot, but obviously its way out somewhere. Garage opens at 8.30 this morning, so i will be there waiting for them to open. Car actually drives a bit better though, so should be good when all aligned. |

Update, remarkably i wasn't too far out when i set it back up, but it was obviously out. The one back wheel was out too. All set up and the steering wheel is straight, and all the error messages have gone away.
