There, taibanl, fixed that for you.

I maintain that until someone confirms to us otherwise that it is possible, from an electrical engineering perspective, that a failing/malfunctioning ActiveSteering motor controller could potentially cause the steering system to servo in an uncommanded manner that could conceivably cause conditions such as those that arguru experienced.

I am particularly interested in knowing how the SZL module (steering angle sensor) is logically connected to the AS stepper motor controller. If the SZL forms an integral portion of the system that confirms steering geometry, upon which the AS stepper motor is controlled, then one cannot rule out, however unlikely, the possibility that a failed SZL COULD have a cascade effect negatively impacting the integrity of the AS system.
