Do you notice any differences in how your steering feels? If VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) wasn't functioning properly, it should be quite an obvious difference in the amount of steering you have to put in. Every once in a while I disconnect my battery for 10 minutes or so to reset the ECU adaptations and after reconnecting and going for the first drive, VGRS isn't active for the first minute or so while everything resets itself. It's super obvious. The first time I experienced it was very bizarre feeling, so you should know if something was up.

One thing you can try is switching between Eco and Sport S+ mode and see if you notice the steering response quicken in Sport S+ and slow down in Eco. If these changes don't happen, something is likely not working properly.

Weak battery, on its way out? So VGRS is resetting every time the car is turned off? If BC were here h’d give you his battery life lecture... lol.

Yeah, VGRS resets every time you turn off the car. It has happened to me once. I changed out the battery and it went away. Hope it helps you too.
