Default Steering Wheel Sequence/Code - To Beep Horn at at Steering TDC -Without ProCal

I swear that a few years ago I used a steering wheel turn/sequence code to that would make the horn beep whenever the steering wheel was at TDC.

Without the procal! I've never owned a procal, but I could swear that I remember doing it!

Anyone else seen or heard of this??

That would be handy! For now it's just back and forth for me.

Did you happen to see Ashton Kutcher around when the horn was beeping?

I've never heard of it, either. Just the ProCal.

Either way (Procal or other option), be sure to understand how that feature works. The vehicle needs to be on an alignment rack. The point is that when the wheels are straight forward, you then adjust the drag link until the steering wheel is at TDC. The Procal is telling the computer that the wheels are now perfectly straight with the steering wheel at TDC. Most people don't realize that and it can effect the whole traction system.

A little confused. Don't you mean turn the drag link until the steering wheel is centered?

Oops, I should be a little more careful with my wording. Yes, you are correct. I'll edit my comment to reflect that.
