the steering rack was replaced?

One of the sensors for ESP is steering angle, maybe they goofed up the sensor, or its connection, or the wiring.

Just to answer this for anyone who searches for it - The steering rack being recently put in throws the yaw off which then the ecu freaks out about. once the car is aligned the car should remove the code and turn on the ASR as the yaw is positioned in place.
