Adaptive steering malfunction
Adaptive steering malfunction, anybody else getting this issue, this is the second time in the last month it’s happened to me, The last time I had to drive with the steering wheel a little crooked and after parking and restarting the truck later it was fine! now the steering wheel is completely sideways, I tried restarting the truck and allowing everything to timeouts before I left the parking lot but didn’t do anything now going down the highway With it 90° turned is weird as hell! I hope it resets itself

I had that happen 2 times within one month about a year ago and then never again since. The second time was like your picture. Super weird to drive. But it never happened again after I restarted the truck

Odd, I just pulled away from the job site and like you said it’s corrected itself again even from that extreme angle right away like nothing happened, hopefully like yours it doesn’t happen again, wonder what causes it? maybe a wet connection? or it just wants some attention?

Good to hear it resolved itself. Here is what I noticed. Both time it happened, I had parked “odd”.
First time, I was parked with the wheels turned to the left while parked on a banked incline to the right.
Second time , I was with the wheel at full lock to the left.
Now I pay attention and I always park with the steering wheel straight

I started getting it about a year or so ago. Happened once and then went away. It did the steering wheel sideways a few times too. Started to happen more and more frequently and eventually became a daily issue as I ignored it a bit too long. Did some research here and everything pointed to batteries going bad. Took it to Oriellys to have them tested. The young man there tested and "passed" the batteries. Bad news for the young man was that I might have known a bit more than him. I educated him on the fact that I had two batteries and that you cant test a single battery when you have two hooked up in parallel. He said I was wrong, so I pulled the wrench out of my pocket (yep, came prepared to change batteries) and unhooked the connections and he tested them individually. Both of them were toast. They were the OEM on my 2017 model year truck. Replaced them with new batteries and haven't seen the problem since then.

I find it annoying that we don’t have a voltage gauge on the dash.
