Steering angle sensor

So it seems that my 4x4 light seems to be on do to my steering angle sensor being bad. I ran the car for codes last week and steering angle sensor came back after clearing all the codes! If I recalibrated the steering sensor the light would go off. But now the abs and brake light are on as well? I don’t know if this is from recalibrating the sensor or from the battery dying when I was clearing and checking codes! The brake and abs light came on after the jump start but will also go off if I calibrate the steering sensor, but as soon as I start th car the three light come back on? I bench tested and replaced the gear in the transfer case motor, so I’m pretty sure that’s good! If my steering angle sensor is bad and setting off these lights does this also mean these systems are not working??? I was going to leave the sensor until after winter but if it affects the abs and 4wd I probably should do it ASAP! Thanks in advance for the reply’s!!!

Yikes! get the battery problem fixed first and go from there. You can't diagnose anything if battery is going dead and you are boosting to start.

Battery is holding a charge, not sure how old it is! I think it died because I had the key on and the blower motor run for about an hour while trying to clear codes and erase the air system warning light because I deleted my rear air springs!

So I changed my battery and now at the battery I’m getting 12.4v off and 13.7 running? ?? I’m pretty sure last week when I checked I was getting 14-14.2 running with the old battery last week! Another thing I noticed is that my clock was wrong today before I changed the battery ???

That's good, voltage will go up more slowly on a good battery. If charging voltage goes up quickly and slightly higher it is a pretty good sign that battery is not good. Set the clock, drive for a couple of days to make sure all is good with battery/charging system, check/clear codes and go from there.

That’s what I was thinking
