After some DIY work today the battery remained dis-connected for nearly 12 hours. When I re-connected everything, the "Active Steering Fault" came up and some window fault. I tried rolling windows up and down and that fault disappeared, and then I went for a spin of about 20Km thinking the active steering fault would dis-appear but it did not.
Any suggestion how to clear the "Active Steering Fault" after battery dis-connection which does not goes away after a ride of 20K's?

You could try this to
- Start the engine (the "Active Steering inactive" Check-Control message appears).
- Turn the steering wheel first as far as it will go anticlockwise and then as far as it will go clockwise.
- Alternatively the vehicle can be driven at about 30 to 40 km/h.
- Turn off the engine and switch off terminal 15.
- Start the engine. The Active Steering and all its functions is now available.
If that doesn't work you may need to use the DIS program to do the calibration.

I went through the same thing after a recent battery swap. Check the following thread:
