Roy :

HI!

Roy :

you have a steering angle sensor that need to be adjusted , there is a spiral cable behind wheel also if you turned wheel with rack unhooked it could damage sensor also and turn on vdc light ,

Customer : Hi
Roy :

did you turn wheel with rack unhooked ?

Customer : No, whenever I start driving I hear an noise like its adjusting itself then the light comes on. The noise is like a air ride shock. Like its leveling out
Roy :

that would be your ABS unit making noise

Customer : It last for about three seconds, like urrrr then lights comes on. Also its only when I drive and steer. I don't have any and lightening or problems with the abs though.
Roy :

you could have a bad sensor like wheel sensor or steering angle out of adjustment , the only way to check this is with a scan tool like a consult you can adjust angle sensor and check for any other codes also .

Roy :

the noise is you solenoids trying to adjust pressure

Customer : Ok
Roy :

let me know if you have any more questions, Thank you ROY!

Customer : Ok
Roy :

you will need the scan tool this is your only way to know for sure

Roy :

let me know if you need any more help Thank again ROY!
