Default 2003 XC90 T6 Steering Angle Sensor Question

I have a anti-skid service required message in the car. I was told steering angle sensor.
I know that steering angle sensors have been covered here, but I am perplexed by something the dealer told me.
My service guy (who pulled the codes for free), told me that his parts guy said that the part that needs replacing is not behind the steering wheel, under the hood, by the fuse box.
I will be doing the work myself. According to the service guy, I will need to have the dealer download software after the parts are installed.
Can anyone tell me what part he may be referring to, if not the clockspring?
Thank you for any help,

The sensor is the clock spring.

The DSTC needs calibration after.

There is an update to the SAS module (different than the sensor) that should be done first if the software is outdated.

Thank you very much, ES6T.

According to the print out I received, it has the "latest software".

So, where is the module located?

Thanks again,

The SAS Module clips to the side of the CEM, under the dash on the driver's side. The SAS is WAY more common of a failure. I've replaced two SAS modules and dozens of SAS's.
