Automotive RepairDiagnostics & Troubleshooting3MediumOwner$ implied

Intermittent ESC light, early indicator cancellation, and trip computer glitches after steering angle sensor recalibration, leading to uncertainty about which steering column part to replace.

No single tool or diagnostic method reliably identifies whether the root cause is clock spring, steering angle sensor, or something else, leading to trial-and-error parts replacement.
