After a <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2343304.phtml">successful installation </a> of my replacement clock spring, I found myself with one less airbag light (yahoo), but a dash full of lights: ABS, BRAKE (blinking), and ESP (disabled).

I followed the procedure on how to <a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/steeringangle.html">Steering Angle Sensor Calibration</a> and had no luck =(

So, after MANY attempts, I decided to bring it to the dealer. I have a track day coming up, and I didn't want to be stuck w/o ABS.

I explained to them what I had done. The airbag light was now off, but brake/abs/esp lights on. The error indicated that it needed the steering wheel calibrated.

The service manager got his Sr. Tech. I spoke with him and request that whatever the solution was, I would like the procedure/documentation on how he did it. =)

He mentioned that the calibration is kinda tricky due to the login procedure (same problem I had).

So, here's the important pages that I pulled out of the pages he printed for me. And if you want to read all of them, they are located <a href="http://65.182.219.254/smokin_s4/clockspring.pdf">here</a>

These procedures are nearly identical to the Ross-Tech procedures except they include a login procedure that is dependant on which brakes you have. <a href="http://65.182.219.254/smokin_s4/clockspring.pdf">(see the full instructions if you are interested)</a>

Ok, so I didn't fix it myself....but it didn't cost me anything.

I have ranked on Bernardi in the past (when I was in warranty), but they really took care of me (twice) and didn't charge me anything.

The first time they disassembled the wheel/airbag, and told me the p/n. 1.5 hours NO CHARGE

The 2nd time, they ran the calibration procedure. 30min - NO Charge

Thx for this. Haven't had to do this yet but someday... this will be helpful for me =-)

based on the wear on that clock spring, we're all likely to do it sometime (100k+ miles)

So how do you properly login? Most VAG tools are set to all zeros to operate in stealth mode

Am i correct in following your posts that this all started as a airbag mil?

Good deal! Thanks for the detailed update.

See link below.

The information is a bit cryptic, but from what I read, it indicates that the logon is dependant on the brakes that the car has.<ul><li><a href="http://65.182.219.254/smokin_s4/clockspring.pdf">Full documentation that Audi Dealer gave me.</a></li></ul>

yes. One MIL turns off, three MILs turn on =/
