  2. Turn on the scan tool after turning the ignition switch ON.
  3. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
  4. After selecting "Vehicle Model" and "System", select "ASP Calibration" on the GDS vehicle selection screen.
  5. Clear the diagnostic trouble code.
  6. Turn the IG switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before starting the engine. Then check that the MDPS operates correctly.
