Please make me understand. Do you mean if the alternator of the car is not so good. It affects the steering rack? Because my steering rack has been on yellow and every other steering rack I put keeps getting hard and the light doesn’t go off.
@damilareolubajo2375 the steering wheel warning light can be a clear sign that something is wrong with your power steering system and you should have your car inspected by a qualified technician as soon as possible.
if the alternator isn't working your battery will be low, this effects the electric power steering. the electric power assist will go to manual mode and be hard to steer. @@damilareolubajo2375
@@Dashboardwarninglights the problem is it’s been inspected. The steering rack has been changed three times but it keeps getting stiff. I don’t know what else to do. And the light remains yellow. The angle sensor has been changed too
@@santoshkuinkel4401 Yes, a faulty alternator can cause the power steering warning light to come on. In vehicles with electric power steering, the system relies on the electrical power supplied by the alternator. If the alternator is not working properly and isn't providing enough power, it can cause the power steering system to malfunction, triggering the warning light on the dashboard. Additionally, a failing alternator can cause other electrical issues in the vehicle, such as dimming lights, battery warning lights, or problems with other electronic systems. If you suspect the alternator is faulty, it’s important to have it checked and repaired as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
I have the symbol coming up occasionally in my Skoda superb 2018 , it comes for a split second middle of driving and disappears. I went to check with a computer and no faults were found. Should I trust the computer? Or is there something else I should check ?

Yellow steering wheel sign together with yellow engine sign when start key. On engine start, there is no warning. I have Nisan xtrail 2019. What can be the issue
@@haroonurrashid3898 The yellow steering wheel sign, along with the yellow engine sign when turning the key in your 2019 Nissan X-Trail, can indicate a few potential issues: 1. Steering Lock or Power Steering Warning: The yellow steering wheel light often relates to the power steering system. It could indicate a malfunction with the electronic power steering or a problem with the steering lock mechanism. 2. ECU Self-Check: The yellow engine sign (check engine light) typically appears during the self-check process when you turn the key. If it disappears after the engine starts, it usually means there is no immediate issue detected by the ECU. Since the warnings disappear after the engine starts, it might just be a normal part of the vehicle’s system check. However, if the lights remain on after starting, or if you notice any changes in steering feel or engine performance, it would be wise to have the vehicle inspected by a professional to ensure there’s no underlying issue.
@@Dashboardwarninglights many thanks for the detailed info and quick response. Appreciate that. I will check with Nisan official dealer this week. Thanks once again
@@Dashboardwarninglights Thanks. i went to the Nisan official dealer today. and they inspected the car with the tool.they said there is no error shown in the reading. i showed them, its when the key is on. they told me to replace the battery and will fix the issue. because the battery power is very low. Not sure. this could be the reason. so i ordered a new battery. let c thanks.
@haroonurrashid3898 the Nissan dealer believes the issue could be related to a low battery, which can indeed cause various electrical problems, including the one you're experiencing with your Mazda5. A weak battery can lead to insufficient power for the car's electronic systems, causing the key warning light to appear and preventing the car from starting. Replacing the battery is a good step, as a new, fully charged battery can often resolve these kinds of issues. Once you've installed the new battery, there’s a good chance your car will start normally, and the key warning light should go away. If the issue persists after replacing the battery, you might need to explore other potential causes, but starting with a new battery is a logical first step. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need any more help! ❤ I hope you can fix it quickly and that it's nothing more serious. If you find this video useful, please share it with your friends!

My 2015 q50s has the same light but when I run the computer it says everything is fine but the the steering wheel is stiff! And no I’m not taking it to no mechanic when I can do it myself..
@StaticzMedia The power steering warning light in your 2015 Infiniti Q50S, especially when paired with stiff steering, suggests a potential issue with the electric power steering (EPS) system, even if the onboard computer isn't showing any fault codes. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and possibly fix the issue: 👉 Check the Battery and Charging System: Since EPS systems rely on electric power, a weak or failing battery or alternator can affect the steering. Test your battery voltage and check if the alternator is charging properly. 👉 Inspect the EPS Fuse and Wiring: Check the fuse related to the EPS system in your fuse box. A blown fuse could cause the EPS to fail. Also, inspect the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. 👉 Steering Angle Sensor Calibration: If the steering angle sensor is out of calibration, it could trigger the warning light and affect steering. You may need to recalibrate the sensor, which sometimes requires a special tool or software. 👉 Check for Software Updates: Sometimes, a software glitch can cause the EPS system to malfunction. Check if there are any software updates available for your Q50S that could address this issue. 👉 Inspect the Steering Rack: The steering rack or its associated components may have a mechanical issue. Although it's rare, a mechanical failure in the EPS unit itself can cause stiff steering. If you've gone through these steps and the issue persists, it might be something more complex that could require specialized diagnostic tools or knowledge. However, these steps should help you cover the most common causes. ✅ "If you find this video useful, please share it with your friends! If you have any questions, leave a comment, and we’ll respond.

Hi @Ali-pu1xw That is going to depend on what type of power steering you have: Traditional belt driven pump, electric-hydraulic pump, or electric. It also depends on whether you washed the engine as well. On the traditional system there could be several belts and you are looking at only one. On the electric-hydraulic, or the electric, a wire could have come loose or fuse blown. You could have also gotten water in a computer terminal There is a pretty good chance it is a coincidence. Fault from servicing or cleaning usually show immediately. But washing engines or engine compartments is a risk. It must be done very carefully. A little water in the wrong place could be costly. I hope to answer your question ?
1. Insert the key into the ignition. Your steering wheel is likely locked because there was a bit of force on the wheel as you turned the car off last. Unlocking it will require using the ignition key in the same way you would when starting the vehicle. Insert the key into the ignition and see if it will turn. If the key will turn and start the vehicle, the wheel will unlock with the ignition cylinder. 2.Turn the key gently. If the key and wheel both remain locked in place, you will need to apply pressure to the key in the direction you would usually turn it. Be careful not to apply the pressure too high up on the body of the key, as that may cause the key to twist or even break while inside the key hole. Instead, apply firm but gentle pressure until the ignition comes unlocked. If you do need to contact an automotive locksmith, it will be much more expensive to repair an ignition cylinder with a broken key inside. 3.Pull the key out slightly before turning it. If the key is beginning to wear out it may not be able to turn in the ignition. You may still be able to engage the pins needed to start the vehicle by inserting the key in all the way, then pulling it back out slightly. Try to pull the key back out 1/16 of an inch, or approximately the width of a nickel, then attempt to turn it again. If this works, the key is likely over worn. You should still replace the key as soon as you can before it stops working. 4.Turn the wheel and the key at once to unlock it. It may take a few tries, but if you apply pressure to the wheel in the right direction while simultaneously turning the key, it will unlock both, allowing the wheel to move freely and the vehicle to start. While it may take a fair amount of pressure, do not force either the wheel or the ignition to turn if they seem like they won't. It may result in breaking the steering pin, your key, or other internal components.[5] Once the two are unlocked, the vehicle is able to be driven. If the steering wheel does not unlock, you will need to trouble shoot the problem. 5.Gently slide the key in and out a number of times. If there was any debris stuck to the key when you inserted it, it may have gotten caught in the pins of the ignition cylinder. Insert the key completely, then slide it back out. Repeat the process a few times to try to move any debris that may be caught in the cylinder. If this works, the issue will likely continue to occur until the debris is cleaned out from the ignition cylinder. Use canned air to clean out the lock cylinder if this method worked. 6.Apply pressure to the steering wheel. The steering wheel is locked in place using a pin on one side. When locked, the wheel will not be able to move in either direction freely, but one side will not allow any movement whatsoever (the side with the locking pin). Determine which direction the wheel cannot move, then apply pressure in the other direction while turning the key with your other hand. It is the process of turning the key while applying pressure to the wheel simultaneously that will unlock the steering wheel. The wheel will only move slightly in the direction opposite the pin, but won't move at all in the wrong direction. 7.Do not shake or rock the wheel. You may be tempted to shake the wheel back and forth while attempting to unlock it, but doing so will actually decrease your chances of successfully unlocking the wheel. Instead, apply steady pressure in one direction on the wheel until it unlocks. Shaking the wheel back and forth could damage the locking pin and likely won't unlock the wheel.
@aanuodebode6512 Depends on what is wrong. If it is just leaking fluid from the seals, I can fix it with a $5 bottle of seal swell additive. If it is just low on fluid, some fluid (although I’d put in the additive to stop it from going down again. It if is a loose or leaking hose, it is minimal. It if is the pump, it might be rebuildable for a couple hundred, or replaceable for $500 or so. If it is the steering rack, you are probably looking at $400 for the parts and several hours of labor
@@JackJoe-y9x The red steering wheel symbol indicates a problem with your power steering system. Given that the steering wheel is hard to turn, it suggests there might be an issue with the power steering fluid, pump, or electrical components if your vehicle has an electric power steering system. Here are a few steps to diagnose the issue: 👉 Check Power Steering Fluid: Ensure the power steering fluid level is correct. If it's low, there could be a leak in the system. 👉 Inspect for Leaks: Look for any visible leaks around the power steering pump, hoses, and steering rack. 👉 Check the Power Steering Pump: Listen for any unusual noises from the power steering pump. A whining or groaning noise can indicate a problem. Inspect Electrical 👉 Connections: If your Durango has electric power steering, check the electrical connections and fuses related to the steering system. 👉 Diagnostic Scan: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes that might provide more information about the issue. If you're not comfortable performing these checks yourself, it's best to have a professional mechanic inspect your vehicle.

Hi, when you start there is a WHEEL (servo controll light, under in REV meter). I havent got it in my golf 5. But on other videos with other GOLF 5 there is it. HELP ME Pleaseee..
@klanki111 Red means you no longer have assisted power steering. Usually its yellow from a battery disconnect. Try this, when I put my new rack in I had to do this. Maybe it'll help? Steering Limit Stop Adaptation (Engine still running) Center steering wheel (±10°) and hold it centered for 5 seconds. Turn steering wheel completely to the left and hold it there for a second. Turn steering wheel completely to the right and hold it there for a second. Center steering wheel (±10°). Switch OFF engine and ignition. Switch ON ignition. Wait 5 seconds. Steering Assist Warning Lamp should turn OFF. If it doesn't, perform a short test drive. If the 02546 - Steering Limit Stop 005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting / Adaptation fault will not clear after driving the vehicle and completing the Golf 5 Steering Assist procedure, increase the time in-between key cycles to 30 seconds or more. If that fails you will need to get suitable diagnostic equipment to check what fault codes are stored in the steering module, all you can do is carry out a steering angle sensor calibration to try fix the problem but sometimes it might need a new steering module or steering rack.
@user-vz5py1op2x When the power steering warning light is on and the steering feels hard, it usually indicates a problem with the power steering system. Here's what you can do: 👉 Check the Power Steering Fluid: Ensure that the power steering fluid level is adequate. Low fluid levels can cause the power steering system to malfunction. 👉Inspect for Leaks: Look for any signs of leaks in the power steering system. Leaks can cause a loss of fluid, leading to power steering issues. 👉Check the Belt: Inspect the drive belt for any signs of damage or wear. A loose or damaged belt can affect the operation of the power steering system. 👉Restart the Car: Sometimes, simply turning the car off and then back on again can reset the system and resolve the issue temporarily. 📍 Watch this Video toFix A Service Power Steering Light On The Dashboard ruclips.net/video/f473kvsTKSY/видео.html We hope these tips are helpful. write us if you have any questions.
My kia rio is having issue with my sterring power is hard when turning and also appears on the dashboard the car loses power when accelerating and headlight wont turn on what could be the problem?
Solution: This is down to a lack of sufficient lubrication on the oil sealing ring that sits on the input shaft. It’s usually caused by a mistake made during production. You will need to buy a new oil seal, ensuring that it is well-lubricated before you replace it. Find your replacement oil seal

@mikewhite1544 If the power steering warning light is on in your 2021 VW Jetta despite having a new battery, there could be several potential causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 👉 Check Battery Connections: Ensure that the battery connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. Sometimes a loose or corroded connection can cause electrical issues. 👉 Scan for Error Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes. The power steering system might have logged a fault code that can provide more specific information about the issue. 👉 Inspect Power Steering Fluid (if applicable): If your Jetta uses hydraulic power steering, check the power steering fluid level. If it’s low, refill it to the proper level. Note that many modern cars use electric power steering (EPS), which doesn’t require fluid. 👉 Check the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System: If your Jetta has EPS, there could be an issue with the system's electrical components. This includes the power steering control module, sensors, or wiring. 👉 Examine the Alternator: The alternator provides power to the car's electrical systems. If it’s failing, the power steering system might not be getting the power it needs, causing the warning light to come on. 👉 Look for Recent Work or Damage: If any recent work was done on the vehicle or if it experienced any physical damage, a component related to the power steering system might have been affected. 👉 Software Update: Sometimes, a software update from the manufacturer can resolve warning light issues. Check with your dealership to see if there are any updates available for your vehicle. 👉 Consult a Professional: If you’re unable to determine the cause of the warning light, it’s best to take your Jetta to a professional mechanic or a VW dealership. They can perform a thorough diagnosis and recommend the appropriate repairs. Ignoring the power steering warning light can lead to more serious problems or unsafe driving conditions, so it's important to address the issue promptly.

After i have driven my car a little and i stop the sign is on only when engine is off, as soon as i turn on the engine it steering light turns off.. what is this?
@Junedkhzn There are several reasons the power steering warning light could turn on. These are: Hydraulic power steering systems Low power steering fluid: power steering fluid is essential for smooth operation of the steering system. If the power steering fluid is low, the warning light will turn on Power steering pump failure: if the pump that pushes the fluid through the steering system fails, the power steering light will turn on Leak in the power steering system: a leak in the hydraulic system can cause the fluid to drip out, triggering the warning light Faulty power steering belt: if the belt that drives the power steering pump is broken or slipping, the system won't function properly and may trigger the warning light Electric power steering systems Electrical faults: problems with the wiring within the power steering system or power steering motor will cause the warning light to illuminate Software issues: modern electric power steering systems are controlled by software. Any software glitches or failures could potentially turn on the power steering warning light.
My celerio car shows this power steering symbol before start. When I start it disappear. One or two occasions I have seen this warning light on for some seconds and off when driving. Is it any issues with car.
@hubertdsouza5610 The power steering warning light appearing briefly during startup is normal, as the system goes through a self-check. If it only stays on for a few seconds while driving occasionally, it might not be a cause for concern. Thanks for watching
@eswarij1068 When the Service Power Steering Light illuminates on your dashboard, it indicates an issue with your vehicle's power steering system. Here's the procedure to follow: 👉 Check Power Steering Fluid Level: Locate the power steering fluid reservoir under the hood. Check the fluid level against the indicators on the reservoir. If the fluid is low, add the appropriate type of power steering fluid recommended for your vehicle. 👉 Inspect for Leaks: Check for any visible leaks around the power steering pump, hoses, and rack or steering gear. If you find any leaks, have them repaired immediately, as continuing to drive with low fluid can damage the power steering system. 👉 Restart the Vehicle: Sometimes, the light may be triggered by a temporary glitch. Turn off the engine and restart the vehicle to see if the light goes off. 👉 Check the Power Steering Pump and Belt: Inspect the power steering pump for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the belt driving the power steering pump is in good condition and properly tensioned. 👉 Consult the Owner’s Manual: Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific guidance related to the power steering system and the warning light. 👉 Professional Inspection: If the light remains on after checking fluid levels and there are no visible issues, take your vehicle to a certified mechanic. The mechanic can perform a detailed inspection and diagnose problems with sensors, the power steering control module, or other components. 👉 Driving Precautions: If the power steering is not functioning, the steering will be much harder, especially at low speeds. Drive cautiously to avoid accidents. Avoid long drives and highways if your power steering system is compromised. Addressing the Service Power Steering Light promptly is crucial to maintaining vehicle safety and preventing further damage to the steering system.
I have 2023 Toyota Camry and I had just oil changed I noticed that when I turn on the key before starting yellow steering wheel with exclamation point comes on and then when I turn the engine on it disappears is that normal?
@demiesilva7174 The yellow steering wheel with an exclamation point is likely your vehicle's power steering warning light. It's normal for it to illuminate briefly when you turn the key to the "on" position as part of the system's self-check, and then it should turn off when the engine is started. As long as the light goes off when you start the engine and stays off while driving, there shouldn't be an issue.
@caesarminor482 If the service power steering warning light turns off after you've checked the power steering fluid level and restarted the engine, you can continue driving. However, it's still recommended to have your power steering system inspected by a professional as soon as possible to ensure there are no underlying issues that need attention. Continuing to drive without addressing the problem can lead to further damage to the power steering system, potentially making it difficult to steer the car, especially at low speeds or when parking. So, even if the light goes off, it's better to have the system checked to prevent any future problems.
No it's not a serious issue with small and light vehicles, no vehicles had power steering before and everyone got along just fine, only trucks and heavy vehicles really need power steering. Without power steering in a small, light vehicle the difference is negligable.
@wordimobi5765 simply removing persistent dashboard warning lights only treats the symptom and not the cause. Your car has been built with sensors to identify faults that range from mild to potentially catastrophic, so if you find a dashboard warning light keeps returning, it is likely indicative of a larger problem.
Except when electronic power steering fails it can be more severe than simply losing power assist. The steering wheel can potentially lock, which could cause an accident.
Absolutely, you're right. In some cases of electronic power steering failure, the steering wheel can indeed lock up, posing a significant safety risk. It's crucial to address any issues with the power steering system promptly to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.

@paulturner7613 It sounds like there might be an issue with the power steering system. It's possible that something went wrong during the brake job that affected the power steering system. I'd recommend taking your car back to the person who did the brake job or to a qualified mechanic to have them inspect and fix the issue with the power steering. It's important to address this problem promptly to ensure safe driving.

@Claudiacuellar9488 Apply pressure to the ignition key (twisting in direction to start) while trying to move the steering wheel from side to side. The steering wheel should release. try using a spare key that you don't normally use. If that works, your main key is probably worn down through normal usage. Also, check the tumbler. It might be worn down from usage, or it could have been damaged if someone tried to steal the car. Also, check the neutral safety switch or shift linkage-if it's not being put in the proper position, the steering and ignition lock can get affected.

Turning your steering wheel engages the power steering and forces the fluid to cycle through the lines. If there is air trapped in your power steering lines, this pressure forces the air out to the top of the reservoir.
@@Dashboardwarninglights thank you so much for the details i do really appreciate your time & support i will try this but can i get your contact so i can talk to you privately & we can discuss to fix the problem?
1.Insert the key into the ignition. Your steering wheel is likely locked because there was a bit of force on the wheel as you turned the car off last. Unlocking it will require using the ignition key in the same way you would when starting the vehicle. Insert the key into the ignition and see if it will turn. If the key will turn and start the vehicle, the wheel will unlock with the ignition cylinder. 2.Turn the key gently. If the key and wheel both remain locked in place, you will need to apply pressure to the key in the direction you would usually turn it. Be careful not to apply the pressure too high up on the body of the key, as that may cause the key to twist or even break while inside the key hole. Instead, apply firm but gentle pressure until the ignition comes unlocked. If you do need to contact an automotive locksmith, it will be much more expensive to repair an ignition cylinder with a broken key inside. 3.Apply pressure to the steering wheel. The steering wheel is locked in place using a pin on one side. When locked, the wheel will not be able to move in either direction freely, but one side will not allow any movement whatsoever (the side with the locking pin). Determine which direction the wheel cannot move, then apply pressure in the other direction while turning the key with your other hand. It is the process of turning the key while applying pressure to the wheel simultaneously that will unlock the steering wheel. The wheel will only move slightly in the direction opposite the pin, but won't move at all in the wrong direction. 4.Do not shake or rock the wheel. You may be tempted to shake the wheel back and forth while attempting to unlock it, but doing so will actually decrease your chances of successfully unlocking the wheel. Instead, apply steady pressure in one direction on the wheel until it unlocks. Shaking the wheel back and forth could damage the locking pin and likely won't unlock the wheel. 5.Pull the key out slightly before turning it. If the key is beginning to wear out it may not be able to turn in the ignition. You may still be able to engage the pins needed to start the vehicle by inserting the key in all the way, then pulling it back out slightly. Try to pull the key back out 1/16 of an inch, or approximately the width of a nickel, then attempt to turn it again. If this works, the key is likely over worn. You should still replace the key as soon as you can before it stops working. 6.Turn the wheel and the key at once to unlock it. It may take a few tries, but if you apply pressure to the wheel in the right direction while simultaneously turning the key, it will unlock both, allowing the wheel to move freely and the vehicle to start. While it may take a fair amount of pressure, do not force either the wheel or the ignition to turn if they seem like they won't. It may result in breaking the steering pin, your key, or other internal components. Once the two are unlocked, the vehicle is able to be driven. If the steering wheel does not unlock, you will need to trouble shoot the problem.
@@jayhoncho2449 If you're experiencing a warning light or message related to steering on a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the steering itself feels normal, it might indicate an issue with the vehicle's electronic power steering (EPS) system or sensors, rather than the physical steering components. ✅ Common issues include: 👉 Faulty Steering Angle Sensor: This sensor helps the vehicle's stability control system understand the steering wheel's position. If it's malfunctioning, it might trigger a warning even if the steering feels fine. 👉 Electronic Power Steering Fault: Problems with the EPS system or its components can sometimes cause warning lights or messages. 👉 Low Power Steering Fluid: Although less common in EPS systems, it’s worth checking if there’s any fluid-related issue. 👉 Wiring or Connector Issues: Loose or damaged connections related to the steering system can trigger warnings. Even if the steering feels normal, it's essential to have the issue diagnosed by a professional to prevent potential safety issues. An OBD-II scan can help identify any trouble codes and guide the repair process. 📍 I hope you can fix it quick and that there is nothing more serious. 👉 Happy to help!
@BJ-nm8wy While the price of this repair can vary, expect to pay between $500 and $800 to get your power steering pump replaced. Depending on your car, the cost could exceed that price, or fall below it. The best way to know for sure is to talk with the service advisors are your repair shop.
I have a 2013 chrysler 300 and my power steering light went onnon my dash. Now its hard to turn i checked the pump and their was no liquid in their. I filled it with liquid and still has the issue. A mechanic said that it is electric so it doesnt need fluid but it has a reservoir for fluid. He told me im a need to replace the whole part and it be 1200. Im not sure if thats true or hes trying to scam me someone knows howntonfix this
@fishaholics8796 First : Remember to fill with power steering fluid and then start the vehicle. Turn the wheel hard in both directions then check the fluid level again to make sure it is filled to the max.
@Dashboardwarninglights yes I filled it with power steering fluid I turned the wheel but I dont think I turned it all the way since it really hard to do. I only have one jack do that's what I'm using to lift it if I could lift both sides it be way easier 🤣 it is a bit easier to turn but still stiff and light still on ill turn it all the way btoh ways and hopefully it works
@fishaholics8796 2013 Chrysler 300c Car has the Electric PS Pump, not belt driven pump. This is caused by a bad pump. The pump either shorts out internally or it draws too much amperage and it blows the fuse. Either way it will need to be replaced to fix the car. Once it is replaced you should be fine. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more help.
I am thinking you may have 2 separate problems here and the service power steering warning and it being hard to steer seem to be another issue. My suggestion would be to take the vehicle to a local repair shop or the dealer.
@iowamagicman Seeing a "Service Power Steering" light after an oil change can indeed be confusing, especially if the power steering appears to be functioning normally. Here are a few potential reasons for this issue: 👉 Sensor Issue: There might be a faulty sensor or a loose connection that is triggering the warning light. Sometimes, sensors can be disturbed or connectors can be knocked loose during an oil change. 👉 Electronic Glitch: Modern vehicles rely heavily on electronic systems, and sometimes these systems can experience glitches that result in false warnings. This can sometimes be resolved by resetting the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). 👉 Coincidence: It's possible that the timing of the oil change and the power steering warning light appearing is coincidental. There could be an unrelated issue with the power steering system that just happened to occur around the same time. ✅ Steps to Diagnose and Resolve Check for Loose Connections: Inspect the wiring and connectors around the power steering system for anything that might have been knocked loose or damaged during the oil change. 👉 Reset the ECU: Disconnect the battery for about 10-15 minutes to reset the vehicle’s ECU. This can sometimes clear electronic glitches. Make sure you have the radio code if your vehicle requires one before disconnecting the battery. 👉 Check Fluid Levels: Ensure that the power steering fluid level is adequate, even though this is less likely related to the oil change, it's good practice to check. By following these steps, you can likely determine the cause of the warning light and take appropriate action.
My car was fine all day , I turn on the car try to turn it drive but the power steering light comes on . Still it showed no signs of my power steering pump bad or anything I have an electric one so I don’t understand what to do

@nickelson81 Fixing fully electric power steering issues can vary depending on the specific problem. Here are some general steps you can take: 👉 Check the power steering fluid: Even though it's electric, some systems still have fluid. Make sure the fluid is at the correct level and not contaminated. 👉 Inspect the fuse: If the power steering suddenly stops working, it might be a blown fuse. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses. 👉 Battery voltage: Ensure that the vehicle battery is in good condition and providing sufficient voltage to power the electric steering system. 👉 Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any damage or loose connections. 👉 Diagnostic scan: Use a diagnostic scan tool to check for any error codes stored in the vehicle's computer system. This can help pinpoint the issue more precisely. 👉 Motor or sensor replacement: If the issue persists, it might be a fault with the electric motor or sensors. In this case, professional diagnosis and potentially component replacement may be necessary. If you're not comfortable with these steps, it's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the issue.
@Ntale-nm4jh I know it sounds like a really daft question, but have you checked the front tyre pressures? I have known so many people to drive round with hardly any air in their tyres but yet they blame the car! Tracking and alignment is a possible but if it drove fine one day then has it's problem the next day, that seems abnormal to me for the tracking to just go out, unless your smacked it in a kerb or hit a huge pothole and not told you!!
@Ntale-nm4jh What To Do With Micro Chipped Keys (most modern immobilizers) 1. Try different key. 2. Turn Ignition on and off 5-6 times. 3. Turn Ignition on for 5 minutes, turn off and retry. 4. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes. 5. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes while disconnected join positive (+) and negative (-) leads together, this will disperse any small electrical charge stored in electronics. 6. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes and reconnect with ignition key in switch on position. What to Do with Remote Key Fobs 1. Check batteries in remote. 2. Press button on remote with batteries removed. 3. Disconnect Battery on car for 5 minutes. 4. Hold button down for a few seconds. 5. Hold both buttons down for a few seconds. 6. If in high area of radio interference (ports, supermarket car parks etc.) move car to new location.
I have a problem rn with my electric power steering the light turns on and my steering gets hard , but than the lights turns off out nowhere this happens mostly all the time for example the light doesn’t turn on for 2 days and than it randomly turns on also even just couple hours sometimes off and than on randomly
Reasons for the Power Steering Light Coming On? Low Power Steering Fluid In hydraulic power steering systems, a common reason for this warning light to come on your dashboard is that the power steering fluid is low. If you see this light turn on when you are driving, you should pull over and immediately check your fluid level. Top it up with the correct fluid as soon as possible, and the light should disappear. Leaks Bear in mind that low power steering fluid usually means that there is a leak that will need to be fixed. Adding more fluid will turn off the warning light, but it is likely to come back on again quite shortly if the fluid is leaking out. If you’ve had to top up your power steering fluid, it’s a good idea to have your car checked by a professional mechanic who can diagnose and repair the problem. Electrical Errors If you have an electric power steering system, the light will not come on to warn you of low fluid levels since there is no power steering fluid being used. In some cases, restarting the engine might be all that you need to do to turn the light off. Sometimes, small errors can happen, which cause the car’s computer to think that there is an issue where there isn’t. If this doesn’t turn the light off, then you will need to take your car to a professional who can diagnose the issue.
@@Superwog2.0 hi i have a mazda 3 2012. Sometimes when i slow down and turn the steering wheel left the steering warning light comes on and it gets stiff to turn the wheel left. I dont have any issue when i turn right though. There is no leak nor low fluid

I have ford focus 2012 iit cones the red on the dash its say steering steering loss I change the battery and still cant eve turn the steering not even 1 mi limiters
@vehbifushe-kosove9700 If you can't move it at all, then this is probably an issue with the steering column lock. I thought it had lost the power assist since you were looking to add power steering fluid. They are made so if the electric motor stops you can still steer the car, so it being locked up has to be a bigger issue in the steering column itself. Are you sure you can't move the wheel just with a lot of difficulty? 👉 This has to be an issue with the steering wheel lock inside the column in this case. You will likely have to replace the steering column to get it working again.
@@Dashboardwarninglights thanks for replying i have a car Ford Focus 2012 and the steering is electrical not with pump the car is turn on new battery but can’t turn steering at all and on the dash board is saying STEERING LOSS Red dot
My celerio car shows this power steering symbol before start. When I start it disappear. One or two occasions I have seen this warning light on for some seconds and off when driving. Is it any issues with car.
There are several reasons the power steering warning light could turn on. These are: - Low power steering fluid: power steering fluid is essential for smooth operation of the steering system. If the power steering fluid is low, the warning light will turn on - Power steering pump failure: if the pump that pushes the fluid through the steering system fails, the power steering light will turn on - Leak in the power steering system: a leak in the hydraulic system can cause the fluid to drip out, triggering the warning light - Faulty power steering belt: if the belt that drives the power steering pump is broken or slipping, the system won't function properly and may trigger the warning light Electric power steering systems - Electrical faults: problems with the wiring within the power steering system or power steering motor will cause the warning light to illuminate - Software issues: modern electric power steering systems are controlled by software. Any software glitches or failures could potentially turn on the power steering warning light.
@taraynshepherd3881 Fixing an electric power steering (EPS) issue typically requires a systematic approach to diagnose and address the problem. Here's a general guide to help you understand the process: Diagnose the Issue: Scan for Error Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes related to the EPS system. These codes can help identify the specific problem. Visual Inspection: Check the wiring, connectors, and fuses associated with the EPS system for any signs of damage or wear.

@@Dashboardwarninglights the problem is it’s been inspected. The steering rack has been changed three times but it keeps getting stiff. I don’t know what else to do. And the light remains yellow. The angle sensor has been changed too
Does the faulty alternator make this problem or not?
@@santoshkuinkel4401 Yes, a faulty alternator can cause the power steering warning light to come on. In vehicles with electric power steering, the system relies on the electrical power supplied by the alternator. If the alternator is not working properly and isn't providing enough power, it can cause the power steering system to malfunction, triggering the warning light on the dashboard.
Additionally, a failing alternator can cause other electrical issues in the vehicle, such as dimming lights, battery warning lights, or problems with other electronic systems. If you suspect the alternator is faulty, it’s important to have it checked and repaired as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
Sometimes! Pls check your keyless battery.

Yellow steering wheel sign together with yellow engine sign when start key. On engine start, there is no warning. I have Nisan xtrail 2019. What can be the issue
@@haroonurrashid3898 The yellow steering wheel sign, along with the yellow engine sign when turning the key in your 2019 Nissan X-Trail, can indicate a few potential issues:
1. Steering Lock or Power Steering Warning: The yellow steering wheel light often relates to the power steering system. It could indicate a malfunction with the electronic power steering or a problem with the steering lock mechanism.
2. ECU Self-Check: The yellow engine sign (check engine light) typically appears during the self-check process when you turn the key. If it disappears after the engine starts, it usually means there is no immediate issue detected by the ECU.
Since the warnings disappear after the engine starts, it might just be a normal part of the vehicle’s system check. However, if the lights remain on after starting, or if you notice any changes in steering feel or engine performance, it would be wise to have the vehicle inspected by a professional to ensure there’s no underlying issue.
@@Dashboardwarninglights many thanks for the detailed info and quick response. Appreciate that. I will check with Nisan official dealer this week. Thanks once again

@@Dashboardwarninglights Thanks. i went to the Nisan official dealer today. and they inspected the car with the tool.they said there is no error shown in the reading. i showed them, its when the key is on. they told me to replace the battery and will fix the issue. because the battery power is very low. Not sure. this could be the reason. so i ordered a new battery. let c thanks.
@haroonurrashid3898 the Nissan dealer believes the issue could be related to a low battery, which can indeed cause various electrical problems, including the one you're experiencing with your Mazda5. A weak battery can lead to insufficient power for the car's electronic systems, causing the key warning light to appear and preventing the car from starting.
Replacing the battery is a good step, as a new, fully charged battery can often resolve these kinds of issues. Once you've installed the new battery, there’s a good chance your car will start normally, and the key warning light should go away.
If the issue persists after replacing the battery, you might need to explore other potential causes, but starting with a new battery is a logical first step.
Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need any more help!

My 2015 q50s has the same light but when I run the computer it says everything is fine but the the steering wheel is stiff! And no I’m not taking it to no mechanic when I can do it myself..
@@StaticzMedia Here's what to do
In this step-by-step video ruclips.net/video/f473kvsTKSY/видео.html
@StaticzMedia The power steering warning light in your 2015 Infiniti Q50S, especially when paired with stiff steering, suggests a potential issue with the electric power steering (EPS) system, even if the onboard computer isn't showing any fault codes. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and possibly fix the issue:
👉 Check the Battery and Charging System:
Since EPS systems rely on electric power, a weak or failing battery or alternator can affect the steering. Test your battery voltage and check if the alternator is charging properly.
👉 Inspect the EPS Fuse and Wiring:
Check the fuse related to the EPS system in your fuse box. A blown fuse could cause the EPS to fail. Also, inspect the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion.
👉 Steering Angle Sensor Calibration:
If the steering angle sensor is out of calibration, it could trigger the warning light and affect steering. You may need to recalibrate the sensor, which sometimes requires a special tool or software.
👉 Check for Software Updates:
Sometimes, a software glitch can cause the EPS system to malfunction. Check if there are any software updates available for your Q50S that could address this issue.
👉 Inspect the Steering Rack:
The steering rack or its associated components may have a mechanical issue. Although it's rare, a mechanical failure in the EPS unit itself can cause stiff steering.
If you've gone through these steps and the issue persists, it might be something more complex that could require specialized diagnostic tools or knowledge. However, these steps should help you cover the most common causes.

I had this problem after washing my car from the outside and from the inside. It appears only . when I start it and then it disappears
Hi @Ali-pu1xw
That is going to depend on what type of power steering you have: Traditional belt driven pump, electric-hydraulic pump, or electric. It also depends on whether you washed the engine as well.
On the traditional system there could be several belts and you are looking at only one. On the electric-hydraulic, or the electric, a wire could have come loose or fuse blown. You could have also gotten water in a computer terminal
There is a pretty good chance it is a coincidence. Fault from servicing or cleaning usually show immediately.
But washing engines or engine compartments is a risk. It must be done very carefully. A little water in the wrong place could be costly.
I hope to answer your question ?
Thank you, my car Toyota Corolla 2020 , Electric steering .
1. Insert the key into the ignition. Your steering wheel is likely locked because there was a bit of force on the wheel as you turned the car off last. Unlocking it will require using the ignition key in the same way you would when starting the vehicle.
Insert the key into the ignition and see if it will turn.
If the key will turn and start the vehicle, the wheel will unlock with the ignition cylinder.
2.Turn the key gently. If the key and wheel both remain locked in place, you will need to apply pressure to the key in the direction you would usually turn it. Be careful not to apply the pressure too high up on the body of the key, as that may cause the key to twist or even break while inside the key hole. Instead, apply firm but gentle pressure until the ignition comes unlocked.
If you do need to contact an automotive locksmith, it will be much more expensive to repair an ignition cylinder with a broken key inside.
3.Pull the key out slightly before turning it. If the key is beginning to wear out it may not be able to turn in the ignition. You may still be able to engage the pins needed to start the vehicle by inserting the key in all the way, then pulling it back out slightly. Try to pull the key back out 1/16 of an inch, or approximately the width of a nickel, then attempt to turn it again.
If this works, the key is likely over worn.
You should still replace the key as soon as you can before it stops working.
4.Turn the wheel and the key at once to unlock it. It may take a few tries, but if you apply pressure to the wheel in the right direction while simultaneously turning the key, it will unlock both, allowing the wheel to move freely and the vehicle to start. While it may take a fair amount of pressure, do not force either the wheel or the ignition to turn if they seem like they won't. It may result in breaking the steering pin, your key, or other internal components.[5]
Once the two are unlocked, the vehicle is able to be driven.
If the steering wheel does not unlock, you will need to trouble shoot the problem.
5.Gently slide the key in and out a number of times. If there was any debris stuck to the key when you inserted it, it may have gotten caught in the pins of the ignition cylinder. Insert the key completely, then slide it back out. Repeat the process a few times to try to move any debris that may be caught in the cylinder.
If this works, the issue will likely continue to occur until the debris is cleaned out from the ignition cylinder.
Use canned air to clean out the lock cylinder if this method worked.
6.Apply pressure to the steering wheel. The steering wheel is locked in place using a pin on one side. When locked, the wheel will not be able to move in either direction freely, but one side will not allow any movement whatsoever (the side with the locking pin). Determine which direction the wheel cannot move, then apply pressure in the other direction while turning the key with your other hand.
It is the process of turning the key while applying pressure to the wheel simultaneously that will unlock the steering wheel.
The wheel will only move slightly in the direction opposite the pin, but won't move at all in the wrong direction.
7.Do not shake or rock the wheel. You may be tempted to shake the wheel back and forth while attempting to unlock it, but doing so will actually decrease your chances of successfully unlocking the wheel. Instead, apply steady pressure in one direction on the wheel until it unlocks.
Shaking the wheel back and forth could damage the locking pin and likely won't unlock the wheel.
So if my car power steering is electric, how much does that cost?
@aanuodebode6512
Depends on what is wrong.
If it is just leaking fluid from the seals, I can fix it with a $5 bottle of seal swell additive.
If it is just low on fluid, some fluid (although I’d put in the additive to stop it from going down again.
It if is a loose or leaking hose, it is minimal.
It if is the pump, it might be rebuildable for a couple hundred, or replaceable for $500 or so.
If it is the steering rack, you are probably looking at $400 for the parts and several hours of labor

@@JackJoe-y9x The red steering wheel symbol indicates a problem with your power steering system. Given that the steering wheel is hard to turn, it suggests there might be an issue with the power steering fluid, pump, or electrical components if your vehicle has an electric power steering system.

👉 Check Power Steering Fluid: Ensure the power steering fluid level is correct. If it's low, there could be a leak in the system.
👉 Inspect for Leaks: Look for any visible leaks around the power steering pump, hoses, and steering rack.
👉 Check the Power Steering Pump: Listen for any unusual noises from the power steering pump. A whining or groaning noise can indicate a problem.
Inspect Electrical
👉 Connections: If your Durango has electric power steering, check the electrical connections and fuses related to the steering system.
👉 Diagnostic Scan: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes that might provide more information about the issue.
If you're not comfortable performing these checks yourself, it's best to have a professional mechanic inspect your vehicle.

I got that sign on my suzuki s4 and my car wont start, what actually it problems?
I have this issue now, and the car wont start at all, is the power steering really related to the car ignition?
Turn the steering wheel lock to lock by turning it left and right. Grab your steering wheel and turn it all the way to the left like you’re making an extreme left turn. Once the wheels rotate as far as they can to the left wait for 3 second, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right wait for 3 second, This is known as turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, and this process forces air out of your power steering pump and lines.
Turning your steering wheel engages the power steering and forces the fluid to cycle through the lines. If there is air trapped in your power steering lines, this pressure forces the air out to the top of the reservoir.
@@Dashboardwarninglights thank you, will try it out soon 👍🏾

1. Insert the key into the ignition. Your steering wheel is likely locked because there was a bit of force on the wheel as you turned the car off last. Unlocking it will require using the ignition key in the same way you would when starting the vehicle.
Insert the key into the ignition and see if it will turn.
If the key will turn and start the vehicle, the wheel will unlock with the ignition cylinder.
2.Turn the key gently. If the key and wheel both remain locked in place, you will need to apply pressure to the key in the direction you would usually turn it. Be careful not to apply the pressure too high up on the body of the key, as that may cause the key to twist or even break while inside the key hole. Instead, apply firm but gentle pressure until the ignition comes unlocked.
If you do need to contact an automotive locksmith, it will be much more expensive to repair an ignition cylinder with a broken key inside.
3.Pull the key out slightly before turning it. If the key is beginning to wear out it may not be able to turn in the ignition. You may still be able to engage the pins needed to start the vehicle by inserting the key in all the way, then pulling it back out slightly. Try to pull the key back out 1/16 of an inch, or approximately the width of a nickel, then attempt to turn it again.
If this works, the key is likely over worn.
You should still replace the key as soon as you can before it stops working.
4.Turn the wheel and the key at once to unlock it. It may take a few tries, but if you apply pressure to the wheel in the right direction while simultaneously turning the key, it will unlock both, allowing the wheel to move freely and the vehicle to start. While it may take a fair amount of pressure, do not force either the wheel or the ignition to turn if they seem like they won't. It may result in breaking the steering pin, your key, or other internal components.[5]
Once the two are unlocked, the vehicle is able to be driven.
If the steering wheel does not unlock, you will need to trouble shoot the problem.
5.Gently slide the key in and out a number of times. If there was any debris stuck to the key when you inserted it, it may have gotten caught in the pins of the ignition cylinder. Insert the key completely, then slide it back out. Repeat the process a few times to try to move any debris that may be caught in the cylinder.
If this works, the issue will likely continue to occur until the debris is cleaned out from the ignition cylinder.
Use canned air to clean out the lock cylinder if this method worked.
6.Apply pressure to the steering wheel. The steering wheel is locked in place using a pin on one side. When locked, the wheel will not be able to move in either direction freely, but one side will not allow any movement whatsoever (the side with the locking pin). Determine which direction the wheel cannot move, then apply pressure in the other direction while turning the key with your other hand.
It is the process of turning the key while applying pressure to the wheel simultaneously that will unlock the steering wheel.
The wheel will only move slightly in the direction opposite the pin, but won't move at all in the wrong direction.
7.Do not shake or rock the wheel. You may be tempted to shake the wheel back and forth while attempting to unlock it, but doing so will actually decrease your chances of successfully unlocking the wheel. Instead, apply steady pressure in one direction on the wheel until it unlocks.
Shaking the wheel back and forth could damage the locking pin and likely won't unlock the wheel.
Hi, when you start there is a WHEEL (servo controll light, under in REV meter). I havent got it in my golf 5. But on other videos with other GOLF 5 there is it. HELP ME Pleaseee..
@klanki111
Red means you no longer have assisted power steering. Usually its yellow from a battery disconnect. Try this, when I put my new rack in I had to do this. Maybe it'll help?
Steering Limit Stop Adaptation
(Engine still running)
Center steering wheel (±10°) and hold it centered for 5 seconds.
Turn steering wheel completely to the left and hold it there for a second.
Turn steering wheel completely to the right and hold it there for a second.
Center steering wheel (±10°).
Switch OFF engine and ignition.
Switch ON ignition.
Wait 5 seconds.
Steering Assist Warning Lamp should turn OFF. If it doesn't, perform a short test drive.
If the 02546 - Steering Limit Stop 005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting / Adaptation fault will not clear after driving the vehicle and completing the Golf 5 Steering Assist procedure, increase the time in-between key cycles to 30 seconds or more.
If that fails you will need to get suitable diagnostic equipment to check what fault codes are stored in the steering module, all you can do is carry out a steering angle sensor calibration to try fix the problem but sometimes it might need a new steering module or steering rack.
Problem with peugeot 207 sw eps is really hard and orange light showed on dashboard,😢 what can i do plzzz help me
@user-vz5py1op2x When the power steering warning light is on and the steering feels hard, it usually indicates a problem with the power steering system. Here's what you can do:
👉 Check the Power Steering Fluid: Ensure that the power steering fluid level is adequate. Low fluid levels can cause the power steering system to malfunction.
👉Inspect for Leaks: Look for any signs of leaks in the power steering system. Leaks can cause a loss of fluid, leading to power steering issues.
👉Check the Belt: Inspect the drive belt for any signs of damage or wear. A loose or damaged belt can affect the operation of the power steering system.
👉Restart the Car: Sometimes, simply turning the car off and then back on again can reset the system and resolve the issue temporarily.

Yes lights are on dim even when I turn on looses power steering is stubborn radio turns on and off can alternator be the problem ?
What year is your Rio?
2016
Solution:
This is down to a lack of sufficient lubrication on the oil sealing ring that sits on the input shaft. It’s usually caused by a mistake made during production. You will need to buy a new oil seal, ensuring that it is well-lubricated before you replace it. Find your replacement oil seal
My car’s battery died when i jumped it the car was on fine but there was that sign in the dash and its telling me to stop the car after letting the battery sit for a little i stoped the car and turned it back on it worked just fine, and the power steering was back
I got a brand new battery in 2021 be Jetta it’s still stuck
@mikewhite1544 If the power steering warning light is on in your 2021 VW Jetta despite having a new battery, there could be several potential causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
👉 Check Battery Connections: Ensure that the battery connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. Sometimes a loose or corroded connection can cause electrical issues.
👉 Scan for Error Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes. The power steering system might have logged a fault code that can provide more specific information about the issue.
👉 Inspect Power Steering Fluid (if applicable): If your Jetta uses hydraulic power steering, check the power steering fluid level. If it’s low, refill it to the proper level. Note that many modern cars use electric power steering (EPS), which doesn’t require fluid.
👉 Check the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System: If your Jetta has EPS, there could be an issue with the system's electrical components. This includes the power steering control module, sensors, or wiring.
👉 Examine the Alternator: The alternator provides power to the car's electrical systems. If it’s failing, the power steering system might not be getting the power it needs, causing the warning light to come on.
👉 Look for Recent Work or Damage: If any recent work was done on the vehicle or if it experienced any physical damage, a component related to the power steering system might have been affected.
👉 Software Update: Sometimes, a software update from the manufacturer can resolve warning light issues. Check with your dealership to see if there are any updates available for your vehicle.
👉 Consult a Professional: If you’re unable to determine the cause of the warning light, it’s best to take your Jetta to a professional mechanic or a VW dealership. They can perform a thorough diagnosis and recommend the appropriate repairs.
Ignoring the power steering warning light can lead to more serious problems or unsafe driving conditions, so it's important to address the issue promptly.

After i have driven my car a little and i stop the sign is on only when engine is off, as soon as i turn on the engine it steering light turns off.. what is this?
@Junedkhzn
There are several reasons the power steering warning light could turn on. These are:
Hydraulic power steering systems
Low power steering fluid: power steering fluid is essential for smooth operation of the steering system. If the power steering fluid is low, the warning light will turn on
Power steering pump failure: if the pump that pushes the fluid through the steering system fails, the power steering light will turn on
Leak in the power steering system: a leak in the hydraulic system can cause the fluid to drip out, triggering the warning light
Faulty power steering belt: if the belt that drives the power steering pump is broken or slipping, the system won't function properly and may trigger the warning light
Electric power steering systems
Electrical faults: problems with the wiring within the power steering system or power steering motor will cause the warning light to illuminate
Software issues: modern electric power steering systems are controlled by software. Any software glitches or failures could potentially turn on the power steering warning light.
My celerio car shows this power steering symbol before start. When I start it disappear. One or two occasions I have seen this warning light on for some seconds and off when driving. Is it any issues with car.
@hubertdsouza5610
The power steering warning light appearing briefly during startup is normal, as the system goes through a self-check. If it only stays on for a few seconds while driving occasionally, it might not be a cause for concern.
Thanks for watching
@@Dashboardwarninglights Thank you for your kind information.
Welcome
If the light continues on what is the procedure?
@eswarij1068 When the Service Power Steering Light illuminates on your dashboard, it indicates an issue with your vehicle's power steering system. Here's the procedure to follow:
👉 Check Power Steering Fluid Level:
Locate the power steering fluid reservoir under the hood.
Check the fluid level against the indicators on the reservoir.
If the fluid is low, add the appropriate type of power steering fluid recommended for your vehicle.
👉 Inspect for Leaks:
Check for any visible leaks around the power steering pump, hoses, and rack or steering gear.
If you find any leaks, have them repaired immediately, as continuing to drive with low fluid can damage the power steering system.
👉 Restart the Vehicle:
Sometimes, the light may be triggered by a temporary glitch. Turn off the engine and restart the vehicle to see if the light goes off.
👉 Check the Power Steering Pump and Belt:
Inspect the power steering pump for any signs of wear or damage.
Ensure the belt driving the power steering pump is in good condition and properly tensioned.
👉 Consult the Owner’s Manual:
Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific guidance related to the power steering system and the warning light.
👉 Professional Inspection:
If the light remains on after checking fluid levels and there are no visible issues, take your vehicle to a certified mechanic.
The mechanic can perform a detailed inspection and diagnose problems with sensors, the power steering control module, or other components.
👉 Driving Precautions:
If the power steering is not functioning, the steering will be much harder, especially at low speeds. Drive cautiously to avoid accidents.
Avoid long drives and highways if your power steering system is compromised.
Addressing the Service Power Steering Light promptly is crucial to maintaining vehicle safety and preventing further damage to the steering system.
I have 2023 Toyota Camry and I had just oil changed I noticed that when I turn on the key before starting yellow steering wheel with exclamation point comes on and then when I turn the engine on it disappears is that normal?
@demiesilva7174
The yellow steering wheel with an exclamation point is likely your vehicle's power steering warning light. It's normal for it to illuminate briefly when you turn the key to the "on" position as part of the system's self-check, and then it should turn off when the engine is started. As long as the light goes off when you start the engine and stays off while driving, there shouldn't be an issue.
@@Dashboardwarninglights thank you
Hope it is helpful for you.
You're very welcome.
What about if the light does it turn off then what?
@caesarminor482 If the service power steering warning light turns off after you've checked the power steering fluid level and restarted the engine, you can continue driving. However, it's still recommended to have your power steering system inspected by a professional as soon as possible to ensure there are no underlying issues that need attention.
Continuing to drive without addressing the problem can lead to further damage to the power steering system, potentially making it difficult to steer the car, especially at low speeds or when parking. So, even if the light goes off, it's better to have the system checked to prevent any future problems.
Thanks for the video. Great job 😊
Thanks for watching!
No it's not a serious issue with small and light vehicles, no vehicles had power steering before and everyone got along just fine, only trucks and heavy vehicles really need power steering. Without power steering in a small, light vehicle the difference is negligable.
@wordimobi5765
simply removing persistent dashboard warning lights only treats the symptom and not the cause.
Your car has been built with sensors to identify faults that range from mild to potentially catastrophic, so if you find a dashboard warning light keeps returning, it is likely indicative of a larger problem.
Except when electronic power steering fails it can be more severe than simply losing power assist. The steering wheel can potentially lock, which could cause an accident.
Absolutely, you're right. In some cases of electronic power steering failure, the steering wheel can indeed lock up, posing a significant safety risk. It's crucial to address any issues with the power steering system promptly to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.

It sounds like there might be an issue with the power steering system. It's possible that something went wrong during the brake job that affected the power steering system. I'd recommend taking your car back to the person who did the brake job or to a qualified mechanic to have them inspect and fix the issue with the power steering. It's important to address this problem promptly to ensure safe driving.

Apply pressure to the ignition key (twisting in direction to start) while trying to move the steering wheel from side to side. The steering wheel should release.
try using a spare key that you don't normally use. If that works, your main key is probably worn down through normal usage. Also, check the tumbler. It might be worn down from usage, or it could have been damaged if someone tried to steal the car. Also, check the neutral safety switch or shift linkage-if it's not being put in the proper position, the steering and ignition lock can get affected.

@@jayhoncho2449 If you're experiencing a warning light or message related to steering on a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the steering itself feels normal, it might indicate an issue with the vehicle's electronic power steering (EPS) system or sensors, rather than the physical steering components.
✅ Common issues include:
👉 Faulty Steering Angle Sensor: This sensor helps the vehicle's stability control system understand the steering wheel's position. If it's malfunctioning, it might trigger a warning even if the steering feels fine.
👉 Electronic Power Steering Fault: Problems with the EPS system or its components can sometimes cause warning lights or messages.
👉 Low Power Steering Fluid: Although less common in EPS systems, it’s worth checking if there’s any fluid-related issue.
👉 Wiring or Connector Issues: Loose or damaged connections related to the steering system can trigger warnings.
Even if the steering feels normal, it's essential to have the issue diagnosed by a professional to prevent potential safety issues. An OBD-II scan can help identify any trouble codes and guide the repair process.

@BJ-nm8wy While the price of this repair can vary, expect to pay between $500 and $800 to get your power steering pump replaced. Depending on your car, the cost could exceed that price, or fall below it. The best way to know for sure is to talk with the service advisors are your repair shop.
I have a 2013 chrysler 300 and my power steering light went onnon my dash. Now its hard to turn i checked the pump and their was no liquid in their. I filled it with liquid and still has the issue.

Im not sure if thats true or hes trying to scam me someone knows howntonfix this
@fishaholics8796
First : Remember to fill with power steering fluid and then start the vehicle. Turn the wheel hard in both directions then check the fluid level again to make sure it is filled to the max.
@Dashboardwarninglights yes I filled it with power steering fluid I turned the wheel but I dont think I turned it all the way since it really hard to do. I only have one jack do that's what I'm using to lift it if I could lift both sides it be way easier 🤣 it is a bit easier to turn but still stiff and light still on ill turn it all the way btoh ways and hopefully it works

Car has the Electric PS Pump, not belt driven pump.
This is caused by a bad pump. The pump either shorts out internally or it draws too much amperage and it blows the fuse. Either way it will need to be replaced to fix the car. Once it is replaced you should be fine. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more help.

Got this light after changing my oil. Makes no sense, power steering is working like normal
@iowamagicman Seeing a "Service Power Steering" light after an oil change can indeed be confusing, especially if the power steering appears to be functioning normally. Here are a few potential reasons for this issue:
👉 Sensor Issue: There might be a faulty sensor or a loose connection that is triggering the warning light. Sometimes, sensors can be disturbed or connectors can be knocked loose during an oil change.
👉 Electronic Glitch: Modern vehicles rely heavily on electronic systems, and sometimes these systems can experience glitches that result in false warnings. This can sometimes be resolved by resetting the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU).
👉 Coincidence: It's possible that the timing of the oil change and the power steering warning light appearing is coincidental. There could be an unrelated issue with the power steering system that just happened to occur around the same time.
✅ Steps to Diagnose and Resolve
Check for Loose Connections: Inspect the wiring and connectors around the power steering system for anything that might have been knocked loose or damaged during the oil change.
👉 Reset the ECU: Disconnect the battery for about 10-15 minutes to reset the vehicle’s ECU. This can sometimes clear electronic glitches. Make sure you have the radio code if your vehicle requires one before disconnecting the battery.
👉 Check Fluid Levels: Ensure that the power steering fluid level is adequate, even though this is less likely related to the oil change, it's good practice to check.
By following these steps, you can likely determine the cause of the warning light and take appropriate action.

If your dashboard is displaying multiple yellow lights and a red power steering warning light after your car was towed, it's possible that there could be electrical or mechanical issues resulting from the towing process.
How did you fix this problem after towing?

👉
Turn the steering wheel lock to lock by turning it left and right. Grab your steering wheel and turn it all the way to the left like you’re making an extreme left turn. Once the wheels rotate as far as they can to the left wait for 3 second, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right wait for 3 second, This is known as turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, and this process forces air out of your power steering pump and lines.

@nickelson81
Fixing fully electric power steering issues can vary depending on the specific problem. Here are some general steps you can take:
👉 Check the power steering fluid: Even though it's electric, some systems still have fluid. Make sure the fluid is at the correct level and not contaminated.
👉 Inspect the fuse: If the power steering suddenly stops working, it might be a blown fuse. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
👉 Battery voltage: Ensure that the vehicle battery is in good condition and providing sufficient voltage to power the electric steering system.
👉 Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any damage or loose connections.
👉 Diagnostic scan: Use a diagnostic scan tool to check for any error codes stored in the vehicle's computer system. This can help pinpoint the issue more precisely.
👉 Motor or sensor replacement: If the issue persists, it might be a fault with the electric motor or sensors. In this case, professional diagnosis and potentially component replacement may be necessary.
If you're not comfortable with these steps, it's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the issue.
My car got pawer staring problem toyota yaris
@Ntale-nm4jh
I know it sounds like a really daft question, but have you checked the front tyre pressures? I have known so many people to drive round with hardly any air in their tyres but yet they blame the car!
Tracking and alignment is a possible but if it drove fine one day then has it's problem the next day, that seems abnormal to me for the tracking to just go out, unless your smacked it in a kerb or hit a huge pothole and not told you!!

What To Do With Micro Chipped Keys (most modern immobilizers)
1. Try different key.
2. Turn Ignition on and off 5-6 times.
3. Turn Ignition on for 5 minutes, turn off and retry.
4. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes.
5. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes while disconnected join positive (+) and negative (-) leads together, this will disperse any small electrical charge stored in electronics.
6. Disconnect Battery for 5 minutes and reconnect with ignition key in switch on position.
What to Do with Remote Key Fobs
1. Check batteries in remote.
2. Press button on remote with batteries removed.
3. Disconnect Battery on car for 5 minutes.
4. Hold button down for a few seconds.
5. Hold both buttons down for a few seconds.
6. If in high area of radio interference (ports, supermarket car parks etc.) move car to new location.
I have a problem rn with my electric power steering the light turns on and my steering gets hard , but than the lights turns off out nowhere this happens mostly all the time for example the light doesn’t turn on for 2 days and than it randomly turns on also even just couple hours sometimes off and than on randomly
Reasons for the Power Steering Light Coming On?
Low Power Steering Fluid
In hydraulic power steering systems, a common reason for this warning light to come on your dashboard is that the power steering fluid is low. If you see this light turn on when you are driving, you should pull over and immediately check your fluid level. Top it up with the correct fluid as soon as possible, and the light should disappear.
Leaks
Bear in mind that low power steering fluid usually means that there is a leak that will need to be fixed. Adding more fluid will turn off the warning light, but it is likely to come back on again quite shortly if the fluid is leaking out. If you’ve had to top up your power steering fluid, it’s a good idea to have your car checked by a professional mechanic who can diagnose and repair the problem.
Electrical Errors
If you have an electric power steering system, the light will not come on to warn you of low fluid levels since there is no power steering fluid being used. In some cases, restarting the engine might be all that you need to do to turn the light off. Sometimes, small errors can happen, which cause the car’s computer to think that there is an issue where there isn’t. If this doesn’t turn the light off, then you will need to take your car to a professional who can diagnose the issue.
We’re you able to fix it?
@@Superwog2.0 hi i have a mazda 3 2012. Sometimes when i slow down and turn the steering wheel left the steering warning light comes on and it gets stiff to turn the wheel left. I dont have any issue when i turn right though. There is no leak nor low fluid

@@Dashboardwarninglights thank u
I have ford focus 2012 iit cones the red on the dash its say steering steering loss I change the battery and still cant eve turn the steering not even 1 mi limiters
@vehbifushe-kosove9700
If you can't move it at all, then this is probably an issue with the steering column lock. I thought it had lost the power assist since you were looking to add power steering fluid.
They are made so if the electric motor stops you can still steer the car, so it being locked up has to be a bigger issue in the steering column itself. Are you sure you can't move the wheel just with a lot of difficulty?
👉 This has to be an issue with the steering wheel lock inside the column in this case. You will likely have to replace the steering column to get it working again.
@@Dashboardwarninglights thanks for replying i have a car Ford Focus 2012 and the steering is electrical not with pump the car is turn on new battery but can’t turn steering at all and on the dash board is saying STEERING LOSS Red dot

Have you checked the power steering fluid level in your 2012 Ford Focus?
@@Dashboardwarninglights there is no fluid in this car is power steering
Have you noticed any unusual noises or vibrations when trying to turn the steering wheel?
My celerio car shows this power steering symbol before start. When I start it disappear. One or two occasions I have seen this warning light on for some seconds and off when driving. Is it any issues with car.
There are several reasons the power steering warning light could turn on. These are:
- Low power steering fluid: power steering fluid is essential for smooth operation of the steering system. If the power steering fluid is low, the warning light will turn on
- Power steering pump failure: if the pump that pushes the fluid through the steering system fails, the power steering light will turn on
- Leak in the power steering system: a leak in the hydraulic system can cause the fluid to drip out, triggering the warning light
- Faulty power steering belt: if the belt that drives the power steering pump is broken or slipping, the system won't function properly and may trigger the warning light
Electric power steering systems
- Electrical faults: problems with the wiring within the power steering system or power steering motor will cause the warning light to illuminate
- Software issues: modern electric power steering systems are controlled by software. Any software glitches or failures could potentially turn on the power steering warning light.
