Id get it aligned with the wheel pointed in the right direction, reset the steering angle and all that.
Any signs of water intrusion ANYWHERE? I believe the active steering module is on the sidewall by your left (driver) knee. But comms issues with other water logged modules could be someting to look at.

No. The first year(3years ago), I got an active steering error but the wheel was straight. The error went away the same day after re starting the car through out the day.
I had got an alignment soon after purchasing it, just to make sure everything was straight, no signs of errors prior to the alignment.
Last year I got the active steering light, code 6134 - Servomotor - Motor Current.
Live data from that code:
Status, Eco valve, OK
Current, Eco valve, 416.296 MA
Status, Servotronic valve, OK.
Current, Servoitronic Valve, 0 MA
Control module internal temperature, 87 °F
Voltage supply, internal (5 volts), 5.008V
Voltage, Terminal 30, 14.9V
Turning the wheel side to side 5x made the light turn off, but the wheel was slightly off center.
I centered the steering wheel on my driveway and turned the tie rods equal amount of rotations so the steering wheel would be center. It drove straight, but the steering wheel was off. Adjusting the tie rods centered the wheel when I drive straight.
2 months ago, the water pump failed. I replaced it with thermostat.
The car sat for a month and had the water pump randomly running so it drained the battery.
I did the water pump work and charged the battery and started it. Active steering and dsc faults upon start up. I turned the wheel side to side and the lights went away for a few days and now they’re back.
This is the first time the DSC errors have came up, before it was only active steering.
Yes, all 3 lights, DSC, 4x4, Active steering.
I was thinking of getting it aligned, but the wheel is so off center. I believe if the wheel is centered on an alignment rack, the tie rods will not have sufficient threads to properly align or full right or left turning radiuses will be affected.
I did have water intrusion on the rear seat floor carpet.
Leaking door seals, I replaced those and that has been fixed. That was years ago.
Yes, the active steering module is behind the driver front fender liner, I can’t think of any water intrusion there. All panels and covers are in place.
I’ll add, when I clear codes, chassis stabilization “DSC” idrive error does not go away. Active steering goes away but immediately turns on.
Same deal when I start the car. DSC light is lit up right away, active steering error turns on half a second later.
