DSC Malfunction

So my car has been having an issue where it pulls to the right. I just got camber arms, toe arms put in on top of having pss9's all around. I decided to get the car corner balanced and aligned. While leaving the alignment shop and getting onto the freeway I noticed my car steers straight only when the steering wheel is 20 degrees to the right. About 10 min into my drive my DSC malfunction light illuminates along with the DBC, and startup assistance malfunction. Now before everyone refers me to replacing the steering angle sensor or cleaning it, I don't think it is the culprit since the timing was a little odd (right after a corner balance/alignment.) I was wondering if anyone could chime in their thoughts. Thanks!

If the DSC light is on, it could be one of the wheel speed sensors that's been knocked / unplugged (insert other possible things a mech could have done)

Get a cable plugged in to INPA: you'll be able to see what the steering angle sensor is reporting (It's incredibly accurate), and you'll be able to see if any of the wheel speed sensors are reporting bad. Relatively cheap to fix and you can do this yourself with relative ease

Then again, it sounds like they've had the intern doing this for you, and made a right royal cock up. I'd get it back in….

It wasn't an intern, he aligns porsche race cars so he knew what he was doing, or so I thought. I took it to pep boys and saw that the alignment was way off. The car was then re-aligned, i reset the battery did the lock to lock bs and plugged in my bt tool and cleared all the modules, reset the steering angle sensor and the light is still there.

There would be a wheel speed sensor code in the BT scanning software and there isn't, and it would be very odd timing too.

I was going to suggest unplugging your battery cable overnight and let the modules reinitialize, but glad its working again.

I had the same 3 errors after a rear wheel flat and just popped the clutch and gunned it for a second and after the tires spent and traction light flashed, errors cleared.....
