PASM failure and "FR shock absorber" fault code?

Need your help people!

I started my car yesterday and "PASM failure" popped up!
I can't turn on all 'PASM,' 'Sport mode' and 'TC Off' buttons.
When I try to, i see nothing changes.
So I checked it with PIWIS, in fault codes it says "FR shock absorber."

Anyone knows what is going on?

what's the actual P code? doesnt the PIWIS also have a "code decoder" that tells what the likely causes/testing/remedies are of each specific code?

You could have a bad damper. But when I encountered this error in the past, I also had a TC failure as well.

This error was corrected by recalibrating the steering angle.

Do a steering calibration and turn the wheel 20 degrees left/right then to dead center.

On a side note for anyone getting a wheel alignment, make sure to do the same. The steering angle sensor must be recalibrated.
