Default VGRS, VCS, and AFS Lights HELP!!!!

Was driving on interstate and car started to loose power. Replaced battery and before I could make it home car started to loose power again (lost power steering and power breaks). Charged battery, replaced alternator, and now car starts fine but there are issues.
1) VGRS, VCS, and AFS lifts are on.
2) Steering wheel is 90 degrees off.
Does anyone know how to fix this. Car ran fine before alternator/battery replacement. Please help!

There's an initialization process for the vgrs. You'll need techstream

I think your mechanic needs to use his machine and manually clear each code. My guy at the shop did it one time and he said these cars are a hassle, allot of stuff to clear on the machine. But it's not impossible. All it takes is a dedicated mechanic with patience. I'm almost certain that is it my friend.

My car has been doing the same. Saying check vsc and ebc on dash then battery pops up there after and eventually I lose power and it shuts down. I think I'm in for an alternator replacement. I just parked up the car until payday then I'll go buy the alternator if in fact it's going bad then drop it off at my guy's shop. I hope your problem gets fixed my friend! GodBless!

Hey guys, I took my car to the dealer, they performed the zero point calibration, steering g wheel is aligned and all codes are gone. It is just a software thing but it' hard to find mechanics who know how to calibrate it.
Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Isnt the Zero point the same as using the OBD connector and a couple of paper clips. I think pins 5 and 15? and taping the paper clips together 6 times in under 8 seconds, with the vehicle level the steering wheel straight and you sitting in the driver seat. Then you have to lower the driver window and hold for a second the program the resistance in the switches.
