Yellow warning - Electric power steering

[rubzn]

Hello!

I'm not quite sure if this would be model specific, but anyways:
Today I disconnected my battery as i was going to remove the glovebox and disconnect it.
When I reconnecrted the battery a few hours later, and started the car, I got a sound signal and the lamp for electric power steering lightened up in red, and then turned yellow after about a second. I tried driveng back and forth as well as swinging the steering wheel all the way left and right. Turning the ignitiond/engine on or off did not change anything.

If it matters, my car is a 2007 Audi A3 Sportsback, 2.0 diesel.
Is there any way to fix this myself, or will i have to call the repair shop?

Thank you in advance!

It should go out itself, do a bit more than just a few feet driving back and forward.

Okay, sounds like I'm gonna go for a ride then

Drive 10 metres forward then full lock both directions, straighten the wheel and reverse back the same 10 metres.
This should reset the steering angle sensor.

Didn't even get to the end of my street before the lamp was dark again. Guess I was panicking for nothing then
Thaks a lot!
