How to fix incorrect pedal signals on FANATEC Video Game Controller CSL Elite Pedals after startup?

  If, after startup, the CSL Elite Pedals and/or CSL Elite Pedals LC pedal signals are not correctly indicated (verifiable in the PC driver), ensure that when powering ON the CSL Elite Pedals LC in ‘Auto calibration mode’, every pedal lever is first pushed to the maximum position and then back to the minimum position. After pressing the corresponding pedal lever again, the signal from that pedal should be fine.
