As per my post somewhere else on lifted jimny gen4 and skew steering wheel afterwards. I post this also here for reference.
This South African company have written a block post of steps. They are known here for their 50mm lift kits.
So very important to note that there are indeed an electronic steering sensor at play on the gen4's in South Africa and most probably also in other countries.
Cruicial is to use a wheel baĺansers/alignment spesialist that ungerstand electronic steering and have the obd2 tool to correct the stèring wheeĺ angle sensor percentage.
Hundreds of jimny attested that this is the only way to alighn skew steering wheel after a 50 mm lift, to bring the vehicle steering wheel back straight in SA
The electric steering component at the steering wheel value have to be corrected with an obd2 scanner writer.
As far as I am concerned, there is a sensor. It is used to measure the rate of turn and provide the angle of turn to increase or decrease the electric torque assistance the power steering gets.
The main thing I think it would affect is the lidar system
The Suzuki workshop manual implies it is effectively self resetting by averaging the position and therefore assessing the average to be the zero position

l've found this thread as l have the same issue after adjusting the tie bar slightly to centralise the steering wheel.
Member "lookonimages" is correct in what he says.
After making the adjustment the steering wheel wants to return to where it was before. So now the steering wheel is centred but if you don't hold it in that position the Jimny steers itself to the right slightly.
l don't know if it will re-calibrate itself, it was only a slight adjustment to the tie bar (1/4 turn) but if it doesn't we'll have to take it to the dealer and get them to reset it.
l took the Jimny to the dealer and they reset the tie bar (l had marked the original position)
And "adjusted the tracking"
Anyhow, it's okay now. l don't think they looked at the steering angle sensor.
To be honest the angle of the steering wheel depends on road camber. On a straight flat road it's centred perfectly now.
But on a camber it's a few CM off centre at the rim, left or right depending on the road camber.
l guess that's a side effect of a steering box with live axles.
