Anytime the battery has been disconnected, you need to reset active steering.. you can do that by:
insert key to key-on-engine-off position
turn you steering wheel all the way to the left
then turn your steering wheel all the way to the right
then center the steering wheel
then take the key out for about 45 second before starting your car again.
That is the reset procedure for the active steering. Try that out and report back.

ok i just went outsdie to try this and with the key on engine off it is reallly hard to turn the wheel with the car not running... does this mean i dont have active steering?? or do i have to use alot of force and turn the wheels??
