About a week ago I tackled the power steering motor bushing job (had the atrocious rattling for about 5 years that I wasn’t positive was this until I opened it up). Unfortunately, while I was doing it the steering wheel came off the shaft splines. The wheel spun freely and broke the clock spring. Put it back on the spline as best I could but the wheel was definitely not straight. Had an ABS, traction control, and airbag light on. Replaced the clock spring and got an alignment (they said it was within the spec of an alignment fixing), and had the steering sensor recalibrated and the car steers straight, no airbag light, but abs and traction control light still on.

In this thread: the poster shows something similar and said they had the dealer reset the sensor and that worked. But I’m nervous that having had Firestone (have lifetime alignments with them) reset the sensor and that didn’t fix anything, that this isn’t the issue. One shop said it may be that the wheel needs to come off again and reposition it back on the spline properly, and that while the wheels may be straight, the shaft and everything under there isn’t proper and so the sensor will always read that something is off.

I’m not sure if I should pay a shop to take it off the splines and align it right (I imagine they would hook up a computer to it to tell them when it’s the correct orientation?) or take it to the dealer and have them try to mess with the sensor. ]]> Scion FR-S / Toyota 86 GT86 General Forum CelicaJoe https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155932 https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155929&goto=newpost Sun, 25 Oct 2026 06:33:53 GMT So after well over a decade of the twins being around, has anyone figured out a way to permanently disable the Tpms light? On my 2011 Rav4 if you go behind the glovebox to where the tire system's control box is and take a wire splicer and connect a hot lead to the output wire it will "fool" the system into thinking all the sensors are working even if they aren't. I haven't been able to find anything on here about this, maybe i missed a post, can anyone help? ]]> Scion FR-S / Toyota 86 GT86 General Forum HotlavaFRSGT86 https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155929
