It was on for the power steering switch but I replaced the switch, the light went off for a couple days and it came back on

You can reset the light by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. The code might be coming from a different module like the trans control module.

Yeah try disconnecting the battery right before you take it in. If no codes are still present at the moment its not likely theyll come back once the batttery power is removed then brought in.

If the light keeps coming back on you are going to have to have the vehicle repaired before bringing through the test station. I would need to know what code is setting.
