scan it is the first step....

Power steering fault light
- Thread starter welshguy
- Start date
went back to the garage and he scanned it, came up with 2 faults
P0106 - Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem
P0322 - Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit No Signal
he cleared it. EPC light went. then came back on he scanned it again. came up with no faults but epc light was still on.

Mine came on just now, pretty much just as I was arriving at the office ... <sigh>
--- Edit:
Behaved normally on the way home, so I doubt it is the fuse. Mike has suggested I look at the fluid level so I'll do that.

ive done a diagnostic scan and it hasnt come up with any steering faults. but it beeps and yellow steering wheel with exclamation mark comes on. switch of vechile and on and its fine until it happens again
got to faults
P0106 - Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem
P0322 - Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit No Signal
none of them are related to the steering wheel though?

oh dear - my steering has also gone now! 
checked wiring - all seems fine & i cant see any rubbing through on the black wire wrap - checked fuse 38 and thats ok - checked the 80 amp fuse, and thats fine and there is power at the pump.
where does the control wires come from - are they all in 1 plug that i can remove from my breaker to try out?

Anyone????
Our year 2000 1.4 petrol has had an intermittent power steering problem since last year. I have searched many, many threads on here to identify what the cause could be and came up with the following list of possible culprits – wiring near bulkhead, steering angle sensor, cleaning / re programme the steering angle sensor, poor earth connections, poor battery, poor alternator, fuse 38, not enough power steering fluid or a leak of power steering fluid.
I have read how diagnostic scans have sometimes identified something, sometimes not. I have read how people have spent money changing items to no avail, all very frustrating. Another problem with reading over old threads is that people have tried something or changed something then reported the problem is resolved only for the problem to return later, others have sought advice but then never reported an outcome back to the forum. It would be really useful to hear from people who have fixed the problem and at least 2 months have passed without it reappearing.
I’m now looking to get mine fixed so does anyone have the diagnostic software around the Peterborough area? please and thank you

Have a look under the "How To" section then "Mechanical" as there is a post in there showing earthing points.
My understanding is that there is an earth at the bottom of each A pillar. There is a main engine earth lead to the chassis behind the power steering fluid reservoir too.

ok - checked earth - all ok
checked wiring - seems fine - however, i did splice the cables at the connector and top of the bulk head to run new wires - still same issue.
checked vag come again - still no response from steering controllor
accidently hit instuments button and got following:
4 Faults Found:
01309 - Power Steering Control Module (J500)
49-10 - No Communications - Intermittent
01320 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs
49-10 - Please Register/Activate - Intermittent
01336 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs
80-10 - Please Register/Activate - Intermittent
00566 - Steering Assistance Operation
27-00 - Implausible Signal
Cleared the fault codes and tried again and the last one remained!
Am also getting:
17552 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70): Open or Short to Ground
P1144 - 35-00 - -
Where do i go from here?

I have also come up with the 00566 Steering assistance operation code, 27-00 implausible signal,
My fault is not intermittent and appears only after engine start. It's on a 2001 1.4 SE, 75000miles
I have posted my story on this one a couple of weeks ago in another thread, but alas no responses. I have 12v at the pump and wiring in the engine bay seems intact. A local specialist will not touch it now I have started investigations but did say on the phone that with the codes and his experience he thinks the pump will require replacing.
I think his diagnosis goes against elsa win, however, I am now at a loss. I don't know enough about data busses to electrically interrogate the connections with the steering angle sensor or dash insert.
Can anybody shed any light on this based on their situation?
Will any vag electric pumps be a suitable replacement, such as found on polo, fabia etc. They all look same on outside or am I just being naive?
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I have finaly replaced my power steering pump. The old one had water in it( I don't know from where) and it had short circuit, makeing the battery run empty in 24 hours.
This problem solved.
The other problem that is not solved is the yellow steering wheel and the exclamation mark that still apear. I had the car scanned and the problem seems to be steering angle sensor. How can this give an error as long as I didn't remove the steering wheel? I've tried to delete the faulty code but it doesn't go.
Also I like to mention that the power steering pump is a second hand (because a new one was very expensive) and from time to time at sudden steering left/right the steering goes a stiff for a moment.
Any ideas?

I have just replaced my power steering pump and I have the yellow steering wheel exclamation mark still there. I have deleted the code with vagcom but I still get the error
01309 - Power Steering Control Module (J500)
49-10 - No Communications - Intermittent.
I still have no power steering is there something else I need to do when replacing the power steering pump?

Whilst I don’t have any further help for you it would be rude not to update what has happened with our car . . .
Shortly after my post back in May 2011 Mustang-owner kindly scanned our car and one relevant fault code was found:
00816 - Power Steering Sensor (G250)
36-10 - Open Circuit – Intermittent
Having done a lot of research since I believe the fault on our year 2000 car really is with the G250 sensor. The sensor is actually part of an electrical lead which runs from the steering rack to the power steering pump. The sensor is located at the end of the lead where it joins the steering rack and measures the steering angle and something else and transmits the information to the steering pump. I discovered later cars have two separate sensors to measure steering angle and whatever the other thing was – I believe the second sensor is in the steering wheel area on later cars). I believe it’s possible to change the sensor on early cars without the need to reset anything with vag-com but seem to recall vag-com would be needed if changing the sensor on later cars.
I managed to find a replacement sensor (new) on eBay but life has got in the way of me fitting it. The power steering still works and only occasionally gives up the ghost at slow speed so it’s manageable for now. I did find some diagrams and a bit of other info on how to replace it so if and when I eventually do change it I will be sure to take some pictures and produce a how-to (assuming it fixes our problem).

Hello
I have the same error code. Did you manage to replace the G250 sensor? Did you take any pictures?
