Vdc light stays on after steering wheel swap
 

Swapped out my steering wheel for one of carbon fiber elements wheel. Very nice btw

But now as soon as I drove off, the Vdc traction light came on and it's staying in after about 8 miles of driving.
Any input?

u forgot to keep the coil taped from turning while doing the work?

Not sure I understand. I didn't tape anything. Which coil are you referring to? Didn't notice that in the diy

u didn't use my diy did u? :ugh:

step1: swap steering wheel
step2: done
:ugh2:

:rofl2:

zero dark u figure it out yet?

u turned the coil by accident when you did the steering swap most likely. this means that your yaw control is sensing that the steering wheel is turned even though the car is going straight. wat u need to do is remove the steering wheel and turn the spiral cable disc (coil ) either to the right or left by 360 degrees until the light not longer comes on.

no idea how many turns, no idea which direction. this is why u needed to tape the coil as soon as you took the steering wheel off the column to prevent it from turning. why ur diy did not say that, i dont know. it's a vital part of the swap.

ive done steering wheels many times, never got the VDC.

:tup:

The steering angle sensor? I was sent a picture of a black sensor with a white ring in the center?

wat? :ugh: i didnt send u any picture, my PM is turned off thanks to mishuko.. :ugh: :rofl2:

is this the DIY you looked at?

if so, do u see the black disc under the steering wheel with the receptacle pins sticking out and "EU" ? dat's wat u probably turned by accident. u needed to tape it temporarily so dat it does not turn by accident.

off-topic but..

"Sixth, grab both sides of the wheel and pull towards your body, it should come off with little effort." .. and smack u in the face. :icon17:

best to leave the center nut on loosely while you pull the steering wheel so dat the wheel dont come flying at u when it suddenly comes loose.

Yes that's the diy I used and only one I could find.

I was talking to someone else about it and this was the part they told me was turnt

could be. i didnt yank out the coil to do the swap so dont know wat's under there. all you needed to do was tape it so it doesnt turn and then just put the new boss on, wire ur horn switch, place new steering wheel, and tighten down.
