    Ran scanner 1.4, for the first time

    Ive had the trifecta, for as long as I've owned the car. And my air bag light, has been lit, as well. Running diag today, showed no faults in ABS, but states that the steering angle sensor needs adjustment. Ive dine thr stop to stop before, with no result. Guess I should try again. SRS.... All kinds of faults... Total 10... 6 yellow, 4 red... And the MID, shows an error for the phone. Theres no phone in the car, but it's wired for one.

    Might be a good idea to clear the codes, and see what comes back.

    .
    An error in the steering angle sensor triggers the trifecta lights. You need to re-calibrate it ( Not sure how to do it with Scanner; I know how to do it with INPA / Tool32 ) . Then erase the error codes and test.
    It may be a good idea to check it out, clean it, and maybe replaced if the error comes back.

    Im still trying to figure out how to run the other programs. Not sure what i missed in the installs, but I haven't been able to use INPA or Tool32.
