Steering Wheel Sensor Calibration Needed post Alignment???
I am going to get my car aligned tomorrow at a Goodyear shop tomorrow. I been there before, did my race Eclipse. I am just need a front and rear alignment after a Swift Spring and COBB sway bar install, along with the Whiteline kit.
However, I am not sure if I need to have my Steering Wheel Sensor Recalibrated? Right now the steering wheel is a turned a bit to the left but steers straight ahead. Is the procedure to recalibrate the sensor only done at a dealership or can most alignment shops do it?
Btw going to set the alignment to:
Front
-1.5 Camber
0.00" Toe
Rear
-1.25 Camber
0.00" Toe
Thanks,
~Kris

I didn't even know we had a steering wheel position sensor. I suppose the calibration process is to take it to Mitsubishi? I was going to get an alignment this weekend.

No problem.
Wheel aligment at least 3 times. No problem.
Sometimes they recommend stuff, to let the dealer make a living.
But i do like the fact, you actually looked up the SM.
If you will have a warning light after wheel aligment , then go to rhe dealer . The recalibration is less then 10 minutes.
They will straighten up your wheel perfectly in the middle position. And then they will connect it to the computer, after that they will do a S-AWC check + update.
Thats all. I had this procedure also already.

So dont sweat on it. It is nothing, not a major issue. But i highly doubt it you will need it.

I don't think this would be something that would throw a code.
It is recommended because the steering sensor is calibrated to zero at the factory. If you change the steering alignment, then the steering sensor will be a little bit off.
However minor the effects on the S-AWC, however, is anyone's guess. Probably why everyone is saying "i've had no problem". You might not be able to tell if there's a significant problem.
