How do you know this is a genuine fault? The 737 STS system ALWAYS trims the wrong way - that is what it is ‘suposed’ to do. And the pilot response on every flight is to trim back the right way - which overrides the STS. Which is why the STS is widely cursed - it may be trimming into a ‘safer’ regime, but pilots like an aircraft to be in trim, not trimmed nose down - so it is still a pain when hand flying.
