This week on the show I share 2 case studies from the last week. Both are steering angle sensor relearns that won't complete, or won't correct the issue. First is a 2008 Volkswagen GTI that had the battery disconnected and won't learn the steering angle basic setting afterwards. The second is a 2021 GMC Terrain that has an off center steering wheel no matter what relearn or alignment procedures are performed.
