365: Don't Get Steered The Wrong Way

This week on the show I share 3 case studies from recent vehicles doing Electric power steering programming and diagnostics. A 2017 Chevrolet Volt with a perceived tire/suspension pull. A 2019 Chevrolet Silverado with a new power steering rack we programmed doesn't work correctly & the shop thinks we programmed it incorrectly. Finally a 2018 Audi Q7 that has a internal fault code in the rack that won't clear or allow normal operation that occurred just from unplugging the rack for service.
