Traction stuck in "off"

[LEE69]

The steering angle sensor can be re-set in vagcom, sure of it.
Be trying that first.

This was posted on the vagcom group recently

"If you throw a "01486 ABS test activated" the cycle did not complete correctly, and the ABS test is still in progress. Roll the car 15-20 feet then brake hard. Then, hold the steering wheel 10 degrees from center while moving in a circle for at least 4 seconds. Do each direction seperately (right circle, left circle). Do not exceed ~39mph.

If this does not work, you may have to physically realign the steering angle sensor back to within +/- 7.5 degrees of zero via the tie rods, then rerun the calibration procedure above."

That's interesting, i've had the traction control light come on immediately after removing the steering wheel to fit a new wash/wiper stalk. Do you think this could be the issue and that doing the above may sort it?

From reading it yeah possibly.
Find someone with vag com and try it.

Hi

Not sure if that advice was for me or Joe.

My Steering angle sensor has been cleared and reset a number of times but returns immediately, before even driving off. We cleared it and then rerun the test and it came straight back.

Next step??
