Steering Angle Sensor 6E3D Error, how to fix?
I took a look at a friends X3 and its been giving a 6E3D error (along with a 4x4 light on the dash), I reset the steering sensor in INPA (through the DTC module) and it goes away until I drive the car. I've searched high and low, it doesn't seem that its a common problem, but I'm not sure what to do. I can replace the steering sensor but I'm not sure that is the issue. I seems as soon as I start the car and rotate the steering wheel that's when the error comes back again. I want to say its the SAS but the question is that when the car is off I can turn the steering wheel and it registers an angle. If the car is on I can turn the steering wheel quickly and thats when the error comes back on.

The question I have is even if the engine is off (ignition being on though) if I turn the steering 'left to right' or 'right to left' it'll throw the code, would the transfer case throw that code even if the engine is off? |

I do see your point re engine off and car throwing the code, though. You could try and disconnect the electrical connection to the transfer box and drive the car. It is safe to do so, but you would be in a 100% rear-wheel drive vehicle. My indie mechanic did just that to isolate the problem (knocking noise at slow turns) and concluded I had a bad transfer case.
