Default Re: Hill Start Assist Not Available after removing control arm
When fitting the rack, was the steering column locked into place or was it free to spin around? If it was left free to spin around it could have damaged the clock spring or the steering sensor or just fitted in the wrong position (180 degrees out) which may not bring on any codes (although you usually see communication U codes present) but prevent operation of some systems like hill assist etc. You also need to have checked that the hill assist function is still turned on in the central car configuration (you need a diagnostic too to access). I have seen this get turned off for no apparent reason apart from a system glitched.

Is it the correct rack for the vehicle? There are several different racks for the LW Focus pending month/year and build specification.
