what I ended up doing is aligned the wheels, disconnected the steering wheel and using a snap on diagnostics tool set the steering wheel to zero and the connected back to the rack.
Leading evidence: 'Disconnect steering wheel' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

As far as I know only a PIWIS can reset the steering angle sensor.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Wouldn't say no in general.
If it is an AT vehicle, the clock spring transports the signals for the horn and the shift electronics/gear shift. As the AT transmission is also connected to the PSM/ABS system via the bus system, there may be situations in which malfunctions occur.
Sorry I should have said it is a manual gearbox.
My brain works on logic. I know my current clock spring is questionable. However its job is to supply electric to items on the steering wheel, in my case a horn and airbag both of which are working so in my mind doesn�t need replacing.
Thats why a bought a new laptop and Durametric system because they told me it would zero the steering sensor. But it doesn�t. It says it does and even tells you it�s been done but when I read the absolute angle it�s still 50 degrees out.
If the steering angle sensor is off 50 degrees it's going to really mess up PSM. Actually if it's off 2 degrees it messes up PSM.
And yes Durametric lies about a lot of features. As far as I know only a PIWIS can reset the steering angle sensor.
Call an independent Porsche garage, most have a PIWIS.
what I ended up doing is aligned the wheels, disconnected the steering wheel and using a snap on diagnostics tool set the steering wheel to zero and the connected back to the rack.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
