This vehicle feels strong when you turn left or right. I diagnosed it and it didn't detect any code, could steering relearn or calibration solve this problem?

"feels strong" does this mean it is easy to steer or does this mean it is hard to steer?

Thanks for the clarification, this can happen when the steering motor goes out, here is its location so you can check it. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.

Is there away to test and see if it's bad and how to service it?

There is a module built into the motor, you can try taking it apart to see if there is something you can fix but when the motor goes bad it burns up the control board. Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems.
