Test drove vehicle did not hear any loud pops did notice that the steering wheel is off at the 10 o'clock position and while pressing on brake pedal vehicle veers to the right. Also when panic breaking can see that the traction control light is working ABS system is working as designed. While vehicle was on the hoist can see that it had just recently had an alignment from the scuff marks on the tie rods and the lower bolts being loosened and not properly torqued to manufacturer specifications. Took prybar and found lower control arms loose and lower control arm come out of the position that it was in. Tightened all bolts to manufacturer specifications and confirmed no more play in control arms. Recommend alignment.
Road test vehicle. Check all suspension and steering parts for wear. Check tire pressure and condition. Check riding height. Check caster and camber angles and adjust as required. Check and set toe-in as required. Center steering wheel. TIRES SHOWING ABNORMAL WEAR?

Tested sensors. Only one sensor is reading to TPMS tool. Used a second TPMS tool. Confirmed same results. Talked with TPMS company about situation with vehicle. Scanned vehicle. Received codes: B1630, B162C, B11CD-00, C1501-96, C151D-00, C1580-00, C1581-00. The signals from the TPMS sensors are able to be picked up from the vehicle TPMS main module, but is not able to be picked up from the tool. To perform programming the tool must pick up the sensors. The sensors most likely have a week signal. Recommend to replace and program all 5 sensors.
