Question Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep?!

Ok, I've already had this happen once. Then It went away for a bit, and now its back.........to stay apparently! Basically whats happening is I start my car up, taker for a quick 2 minute buzz up and down my street and this beeping kicks in, its 5 beeps totally equal in pitch and length, just 5 beep beep beep beep beep, then a pause, then its starts all over again. I heard it was the power steering from a few people, but does anyone know for sure what it is?

3 beeps is power steering. Im fairly certain that 5 beeps is the AAS computer. Can anyone else confirm this?

I'm not sure. I'm working on another FC that has the same problem, and we narrowed it down to the stupid angle sensor.&nbsp We thought it was the turn signal cancellation ring, but it doesn't look like that.&nbsp This ring is the white plastic ring with the two prongs opposite of each other - this needs to sit in two hole in the hub.&nbsp Make sure at least this ring isn't smashed!

"5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed."

Ok, So I already knew that was the problem. So I just realigne the thing or what?

make sure its not just mis-alinged first. Don't go wasting your money, when half the time, its just the steering wheel was not put on correctly.
