You really need a main dealers experience here , they seem to be floundering with lack of knowledge .
Firstly you must never use modules from other cars ! thier software is specific to the car they came from .
Secondly : If they read the fault codes and interpreted them ,they should know whether they related to the Steering angle sensor or the yaw sensor
Thirdly: , Yes the system needs calibrating firstly on the workshop computer then a short test drive afterwards .
