Steering Wheel Sensor Troubleshooting

Specific to 2017 Mustangs when doing the cluster upgrade

If a customer with a Digital Gauge Instrument Panel Speedometer Cluster Upgrade reaches out stating that they are getting an error code stating:
​

Steering Wheel position shows as "reduce steering wheel".
​

This is an issue with the Clock Spring programming.
​

The sensor in question that has an issue is likely the steering angle sensor.
​

The Kit that was installed by the customer is: F-CLUFRD-R315
​

The vehicle information: 2017 Ford Mustang GT

The Example I am using is for a customer we have worked with.
​

The customer had decided to replace their steering wheel on the vehicle.
​

In this case, the customer reports that they've checked all of their wiring and fuses,
​

that they've made sure there are no issues with their wiring.
​

Our resolution for this is for the customer to purchase a programming service with Ford.
The customer may have unknowingly damaged the Clock Spring or made a modification

to the vehicle that changed the necessary programming.
