super easy fix. Wish I had pictures to show you, but do a search for a write up on how to center the steering wheel. I'll search too and send you a link. especially since I can't remember the correct part names

Basicly you get under the Jeep, loosen two nuts, turn the steering rod. As you turn the steering rod, the steering wheel itself will turn inside the cab. Once you see the name "Jeep" level with the ground, go back under the Jeep and tighten the 2 nuts you loosened.

When you do the search you'll see several techniques from having a buddy or gf sit in the drivers seat to watch the steering wheel to a zip tie at the center point. I say this cause you'll turn the rod, walk back to the drivers seat see you went to far, crawl back under, turn the rod, walk back to the drivers seat see you went too far the other direction......and so on and so on.

and when you think you are centered, take her for a spin and see if the problem is fixed. and trust me, it may take a few tries.

No Procal doesn't read just writes.

I myself got error code: U0126 - Lost Communication With Sas - Can C (steering Angle Sensor)

I also read somewhere that after you make an adjustment, wait at least 5 min to take effect.

If the procal says you are centered, and the alignment shop says you are centered, and you don't get this error code, well I guess your steering wheel is centered and time to move on to the next possible fault.

I'm recommending this as your first step cause it seems to be the most common and easiest fix.
