Thanks Dack Ive seen that thread already but active steering alignment is different and dont know which way to go. I guess i need to do oem numbers with more camber in the front. Another thing I heard that active steering sensor has to be reset after alignment. Maybe you know something about it?

repeat the last 2 steps and end in the straight ahead position.

turn off car, wait a minute, restart, and drive away for a few hundred feet.


you just calibrated your SZL ( steering wheel sensor to tell dsc if wheel is turned and to what degree) other lights come on by default.



Good Luck...

Not sure if it is the same procedure but thanks. I heard that dealer should reset AS after wheel alignment, and this is the reason why active steering cars alignment is much more expensive.
