Techstream should be able to reset any code. But if there is a malfunction, the code will come back.

Yes. If the battery was disconnected you should be fine. I've never had a problem working on SRS systems with the battery disconnected.

I think he disconnected the battery after he had the plugs disconnected, I think.

It's been a while, but I definitely don't recall anything out of the ordinary not being reconnected or standing out. The pics between yours and mine show some differences, but the main point is that all plugs coming out from the clock spring should connect to the steering wheel in order for there to be proper rotation and electrical connections to the steering wheel controls. Are the wires you're grasping from within/underneath the steering column? If so, then it's similar to the white plug in my photos. That plug is taped so short to the other wire bundles that it's not really able to connect to anything else. I haven't had any codes, warning lights, or issues.

Same photo, different orientations:

Exactly from within the steering column/under steering shaft. All connections are made to the clock spring and to the steering wheel. Then this happened.. this red wire came off 🤬idk where this crap goes

It seems to go somewhere near the steering wheel position regulator.

Are you sure because you have no other single red wire going to the control?

I thought you were speaking about the white connector. The red wire I still don’t know where it disconnected from.

btw does anyone know the torque for the steering wheel nut?

37 ft lbf for the steering wheel nut. But not sure about the nut on top of the driver's seat.

Thank you guys! I have the wheel and everything connected. Drove around locally lol for about 20 min, no issues with any sensors. Just need a wheel alignment..steering wheel sits slightly to the left(maybe didn’t align it properly on steering shaft)

btw that white connector is an “extra”

As for the red wire, I did not find where it connects to

You should be fine. Looks like that wire is there for the driver attention monitor. 86471-50010
