We've had some customer inquiries about this so I was able to induce a fault in my 2015 GTI in 44-Steering Assist and was able to clear it using the following steps.
First, here is the fault in question:
So first with the engine running, I went into Adv Meas Values and made sure that the steering wheel was pointed straight and the front wheels were pointed straight, close enough:
Edit to show identifier for use use with recent versions of VCDS:
[IDE04448-IDE00924],Steering angle sensor: angle - Steering angle
Next, I went into Security Access -16 and entered the code that shows up in the little helper balloon and it was accepted.
Next, I went into Basic Settings - 04 and chose "Steering angle sensor" and clicked [Go!]
Edit to show identifier for recent versions of VCDS:
[MAS00815] Steering angle sensor
Here's the weird part, it showed "Running" but never changed from that. I left it in this mode for 60 seconds then clicked on [Stop] and [Done, Go Back] and [Close Controller, Go Back].
Next, I cycled the ignition off and back on again. At this point, the TPMS, steering wheel, and ESP lights were still lit up on the dash but a brief drive through a parking lot made them all go away.
