These are straight forward installs. I didn't even know you could install it incorrectly. Was it taken apart and not put back together correctly? I can't see it being a wiring issue either. I have never had an issue with an SZL and I have taken them completely apart and solder bad connections. Something is not right. I would recommend not using ISTA with a used module and use INPA/WINKFP/NCSEXPERT to complete install. I have never used ISTA for a used SZL. If you need assistance I can remote using Teamviewer and complete the steps needed. The only thing I can think of is your timing is off and ISTA sees it as incorrectly installed. You can't calibrate it without syncing the time as the modules are not talking in sync

I tried tool32 to reset the system time for szl_60 but I don't see the option to reset the time under options.
Does my car being a 07 have anything different to do with it?
That would be amazing if you could, can you pm me so we can figure out a time?

I've checked the wiring under the steering wheel and it visually looks good.
Not really good at reading wiring diagrams either, I'm thinking its some sort of wiring fault.

The speed sensors are a separate issue hopefully solved when the DSC is corrected doing the SZL calibration. I can't see all sensors having an issue at the same time. It will not correct the SZL. I would put the third one on. Are you installing when the wheels are straight? If the next SZL does not act correctly then something else is wrong

Okay I see, and yes the wheels are always straight and I get the arrows lined up on the SAS before clipping the clock-spring on as well. Is there anything else I need to align when installing it?
