How to calibrate steering angle sensor with VAG-COM

My VW Passat B5 2005 had the steering wheel off to get the dashboard on when I replaced it. I have got my VAG-specific VAG 405 code reader to read out the error code, here are some screen shots.

After failed to get the solution on the search engine, I took my vehicle to the deanship and the experienced technician claimed that I had had misaligned the slip ring (under the steering). In short, steering angle sensor proved to be losing some basic setting. The basic producers would be done through a VAG Vagcom 12.12.0 diagnostic USB cables VCDS. It is not that difficult a job, so I have myself quickly mastered the technique.

The basic setting procedure goes like this:

System voltage at least 12V1) Turn on the vehicle ignition switch and start the vehicle.2) Drive in a short distance straight line on a level surface at the speed not higher than 20 km/h. 3) When the steering wheel is straight, stop the vehicle with the wheels pointed straight. Make

sure the vehicle is not move again. 4) Start the engine again and do not turn off the ignition switch. 5) Plug the VAGCOM USB interface into the computer6) Install driver and software with the VCDS video instruction (超链接)https://onedrive.live.com/?
