Thanks for replying.
Yes, I disconnected the battery for 30 minutes before removing the airbag. I had the steering wheel centered but when I attempted to remove it, I could not get enough torque to the nut to break free without the wheel spinning out of my hand. I turned the steering wheel hard left until it locked{mistake?}--which in turn rotated the old clockspring left as well. Next when I installed the new clocksprimg I had to pull the retaining pin and spin it to match the position the old sensor was in to allow the steering wheel to be mounted. In essence, the steering wheel and clockspring { and steering angle sensor?} were installed turned to the left and not centered. it's not a code , the asc system is actually functioning while drving. = asc light on , reduced power, whining noise ....like when you slip on ice or snow.. could it be possible its because I improperly lined up the clockspring when I installed it? Is there a way to reset it such as turning it clockwise and backing it off a number of turns to center it properly ? Possibly purchase a new clockspring and start all over while keeping wheel straight the whole time? |

If all else fails pull the fuse to the ASC?... I turn it off in winter anyway. It would at least enable me to drive without having to remember to push the ASC OFF button every time I get in the vehicle. Would this throw a CEL code?

Looks like I'll be taking it to this dealership. No one in my area has the Mitsubishi scan tool. I wonder if I can just pull the ASC fuse if there is one to temporarily disable the system until I can get into the dealer? Thanks so much for your help and taking the time to look into it. Much appreciated

Thanks. I actually don't have the ability to choose settings for the ASC. I do however have a button on the dash that will let me select on or off for the traction control. So long as I remember to push the ASC off button every time I get in the car, I'm fine. I just figured pulling a fuse would alleviate having to do this temporarily. I didn't consider the fact that the traction control works in unison with the ABS system and the pulling the fuse would interfere with both more than likely

I have to take my car to the dealer for a recall on the sunroof and the windshield motor mechanism. I'm hoping while I have it in for those repairs they might see fit to hook it up to the scan tool and recalibrate the clockspring as well..
