Navigating the configurator was like performing surgery with a map drawn in riddles. Each command had to be exact. CFG_CHASSIS_BRAKE_PROTOCOL had to be set from AUTO to EBS20_LEGACY . The steering angle offset required a manual calibration sequence: SAS_CALIBRATE > CENTER > CONFIRM_OFFSET(-12) > WRITE . She needed to re-write the ECU’s expectations
