That is 100% correct.

Just to update everyone, after some more work done today.

I now have full confirmation that it can be calibrated / reset and have confirmation that 2 jimny's steering angle position sensors have been recalibrated successfully by 3rd party, but it is very far from me.

Anyway for now I will drive like that, till it goes for its service at suzuki next month. Will then ask suzuki if they will do the steering angle sensor position recalibration.

We have now very conclusive info what is wrong and how to correct.

Thanks all for helping and trying to resolve issue. Much appreciated.

I just need to say that DesSol the manufacturers of the liftkit end of day were instrumental in sorting this problem for me.

Thanks Rob & Lynton from Dessol, who made a huge effort to get me sorted. This is not a product defect or install defect. Normally it is just a case of install the lift kit and adjust steering rack rod as per martin's instructional video. Thanks again Martin for your videos.

My vehicle seem to be one of those odd ones out that need steering angle sensor recalibrated.

I should have contacted them from day one instead of running around trying to sort this myself.

So I got hold of obd2 reader and the sz viewer software.

Here you can see the steering angle setting showing it is off centre.

Just glad we could pinpoint the issue

That's awesome @lookonimages, 
Do you by any chance have a link to the OBD2 reader you're using?

Any elm327 should work.

I opted for the viecar, just because reviews were good and it said Andoid/IOS compatible

There are cheaper alternatives like these

but was not happy of fine print below
