Fault Code 4444 after battery disconnect

[996noob]

After battery disconnect, I get fault code 4444 read by PIWIS, steering angle sensor not initialized, on a 997.1. I folllowed the repair manual procedure which is, start engine, turn left 20 degrees, turn right 20 degrees and drive more than a certain speed for more than 6 seconds in the straight ahead position. There is no error on the instrument cluster anymore. However, 4444 isstill read by PIWIS, and the details of the error seem to indicated that PSM is active, etc. Is this error code just temporary and will be erased after awhile?

As I recall when you do a steering sensor calibration you need to re-read the faults and they should be clear. If you do not re-initiate the fault reading process the fault will still show.

Most fault codes stay in the memory even after you "repair" or fix the problem until you actually "erase fault memory" with a PIWIS or PST2 or one of those other lessor readers.

Strange thing is that this code could not be erased by PIWIS.

I am having this same problem. I tried recalibration 4 times and was able to reset the system with the Durametric, but the light keeps coming back with codes 4440 and 4444. Any ideas?

You don't just reset this fault - you need to perform a steering angle calibration.
