I left a cable for charging a phone across the steering column on my 07 Grand Cherokee. It ended up getting caught in the column and messed up the clockspring. New ones are no longer made, a salvage one was installed, but now my BAS ESP lights are on, code reads intermittent steering angle sensor, changed entire steering column, still getting the same message, and now the air bag is reading "implausable readings".
First question, is there a separate steering angle sensor on this model? Or is it integral to the clockspring?
second question, must I have a dealer clear the airbag code? I can change the airbag to the original, but the code shows as stored and will not clear with my scanner.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
