If it is loose, center the column by using the level position of the signal lever. There is an access hole (red arrow) on the right side of the column. At the top of the hole there is a bolt that holds everything in place.
Insert an extended T30 Torx Socket 1/4" drive into the hole and tighten the bolt, but not to the extreme.

It has a little bit of play, would that cause these problems?, do you know if the the ism is bad what other symptoms it would cause other then the no shifter not working, randomly all the lights on the cluster would come on, rpm goes crazy. I went by a shop with the star computer but when I got there the truck was running fine he just checked the codes and didnt really do anything he said come back if it happens again and he would do further diagnostic but every code he told me i already knew. I am wondering if the alternator the shop put is 180amp by accident instead of 220.

If the truck was boosted I read that it can damage the modules, is there a way to see if they are damaged, does star tell you if its a bad module?

Why don't you tighten it before asking other questions. We can only work on one thing at a time.

... I started the car and a few min later the triangle light came on along with abs and esp, they both kept flashing. about 7 messages came up like pre safe inoperable, run flat, abs, and then the srs light, and the shift lever would not shift out of park, so i left it off then about 30 min later i tried again and no lights car drove fine, then today it acted up again and its not going away...
thanks
thanks
Anyway, the result of that was the triangle light, cruise control inoperative, abs fail, run flat fail, and the whole SRS system went down. Turns out the voltage surge caused the Steering Angle Sensor to short and malfunction. The car constantly thought the steering wheel was at -6 degrees, which caused it to go into M-B**ch mode and plague me with flashing lights on the dash. Might want to give that a check. New part cost me about $600 installed, I think you can get it for around $300 if you want to DIY it.

No, I did not experience problems with the shifter. However, the source of my problems was a voltage surge, so reading about the batteries and other things that were addressed previously, it might be a problem source. These cars have stupid amounts of fail-safes installed. You can't even switch basic bulbs with LEDs without tripping some sort of error message.

I think so I didn't have the long torque, so i asked the guy with the star computer to do it, he kept saying its fine but did it anyway but the code was already reset, i will test it out tonight, but since the reset the triangle light it mostly on when I start the car.

Hey guys, so the car was running fine for about 2 weeks and it started do it again, took it to shop and they changed the alternator and its still doing it, I attached a video if anyone had a similar issue, i did notice if i leave the ignition on for a while or turn of ignition off/on couple of time its perfectly fine. The shop told me maybe the esp module or ism does anyone know how to test those modules?
thanks

You have two problems that you have to address. I would say that the B96/1, left sensor should be replaced first. But I suggest that you change both sensors while you are in there. This requires removing the turbo and the shutoff motor. Are you going to do this yourself?
Then depending on the codes, replace AdBlue.

Do you think that sensor will cause this issue, that code has been on for a long time maybe since last February 2016. The adblue error was since this July for the heating element. A mechanic told me that port will break after changing it and there is a delete kit I just never got around to searching it up.

Hey guys so quick update , i got it running again seems ok but will Update if anything happens, I took it to a guy he recommended fixing the eis first, since it might not be waking up all the modules. So got that fixed and it started right up.
