There are some recalibration procedures in the OM for other electronics but I don't recall one for the Shaker. Before freaking out, I'd disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes and see if the Shaker resets.

Best thing I ever did with the Shaker system was to replace the heads in both cars with Pioneer heads...sounds so much better and no longer have these screwed up problems..
