Changed clock spring. Keep getting C1445

My car (2010) was sold cheap because the steering wheel buttons didn’t work. Fine, I know what that is and it’s not hard to replace a clock spring. Finished up, took it for a spin and about 2-3 minutes in the traction control light came on. Scan shows C1445 car driven without calibrating SAS. Ok cool. I have the Xtool IP500 because it can do the Toyota specific things. Used it to do the torque zero point calibration (I may have the words slightly wrong there) and cleared the C1445. Light went out.

Took it for a spin and 2-3 minutes in the light came back on and the C1445 was back. If I look at live data, I can see the sensor at zero when I start up and move appropriately when I turn the steering wheel left or right, so it seems it is sending an appropriate signal.

Am I missing a step somewhere? I didn’t have the issue before I replaced the clock spring, so I’m open to it being a bad part where the sensor has failed, but want to make sure before I spend money on another part.

Can anyone verify the exact steps I should use to calibrate the SAS? The online info isn’t at all helpful.
