Why Did My Power Steering Stop Working With the Light On?
What the customer reported
The vehicle owner reported that the service power steering warning light was illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle also had a complete loss of power steering functionality.
What we found and did
The technician found that the customer-supplied part that was installed had an internal failure, with fault code C0545 now present, and that another part was needed. At our Haines City shop, the team ran a Level 1 and Level 2 test with a road test, confirmed battery and charging functions, and did specific pin testing on the modules and computers with Autel computer testing. The technician also installed a Die Hard AGM auxiliary battery, including terminal cleaning and protectant.
