Yea. Jump starting isn’t such a good thing anymore. Fried my ipc/tipm jump starting someone. May have a computer failure. The surge load from jump starting is bad for electronics now. I won’t carry jumper cables anymore. The power steering has its own brain. Maybe try removing the battery for 24hrs and tie the battery cables together to drain the computers and then connect the battery back that’s about as good of a hard reset as possible.
