What makes an steering wheel angle go out of alignment?

After 5 days at the body shop finalizing work (some parts were BO last month), on delivery day the dash lit up like a tree and the triangle went on, and im not certain, but i think the car went into safe mode. I saw lights i had never seen before.

they had visited the dealer too the day before to test the door handles.

So it took the dealer on delivery day not even an hour to call me and say it was the steering wheel angle that had to be reprogrammed. The computer thought the wheel was about 180 degrees off.


What triggers that? Did anyone swap my rack n pinion?

may be it was an electrical connection got disconnect during the body work? I don't know why they put PS warning light/computer on these car when clearly KB1 and KB2 don't even have adaptive hybrid PS or EPS.

This never happened before and there’s no reason why it should happen.

thry removed a tire to put in a new fender...

they either her swaped something or tried to and didn’t work... would be my guess.
