Great video, electric power steering will be a headache in the future with high amp draw. Stalling issues while turning and voltage drop testing will be necessary. Just a weak battery I'm guessing could act really strange. Thanks man.

Had to laugh last night as my brother and I looked over his new to him 2016 Ford wondering if it was repaired decently from an accident. We were born in the 60's and handy on vehicles, we circled the engine bay for 10 minutes looking for the power steering fluid reservoir, and feeling really dumb. I can see why this exists, but prefer the old way.

I Pieced it back together the parts and wires best as I could. But the Electric Power Steering isn't working. I don't have the fancy Verus Diagnostic Tool to trace/monitor communication signals to see which signal is not getting where it needs to go.... Do you have any alternative suggestion on where/how to go about My case?

I had this issue for half a year. Bought a scan tool and just constantly cleared codes until I solved it. My problem was uneven worn tires. The car pulled to the right heavily which the pcsm does not like. After I got new tires, the car drove perfectly straight and After I cleared the codes, it never came back again. So if anyone with this issue has an alignment issue, get that solved first
