WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Description
- Rotating the steering wheel excessively when the ignition is OFF can cause the PSCM to lose the steering angle center position. This symptom corrects itself after the vehicle is driven straight for at least 152 meters (500 ft), with little to no steering wheel torque input. Once the PSCM re-learns the center position, the EPAS system returns to normal operation.
