Power steering becomes stiff and sometimes the engine shuts off immediately?

Hi,

Does the power steering light only come on when you experience the issue? Also, this vehicle has a traditional power steering system. So, the pump is belt driven. Do you ever hear a squealing or noise from the belt when this happens? Is the power steering fluid full?

Let me know.

Yes, the power steering light only comes on when I experience this issue.

Hi,

What I recommend is this. We need to have the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires so they can communicate with each other. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:

Let me know if this is something you can do or have done.

Take care,

Joe
