Procedure for resolving the issue related to the yellow steering wheel light:

1. Check the vehicle's power supply (battery charging, alternator operation, connecting cables) - if the voltage is low, the electric power steering system may not work or may operate in emergency mode. There may be breaks in the power supply circuit of the electric power steering system. This is checked at the 30 and 15 amp ignition switch connectors. Any car electrician can perform these checks.
2. Perform computer diagnostics of the vehicle to determine the specifics of the problem - steering system errors will be recorded in block 44, as well as blocks 3 and 16. Information from these blocks allows drawing specific conclusions about the problem. Computer diagnostics identify the sources of the problem and help develop an action plan to solve the "yellow steering wheel" problem.
3. If there are no power supply issues and all measurements indicate a problem directly in the electric power steering gear, the electric power steering gear is removed from the car, and the repair process begins.
4. The repair of the power steering gear involves comprehensive refurbishment and removal of all mechanical and electronic faults (controller and sensor). Our specialists are familiar with problematic areas of gears from all vehicles and options for their repair, ensuring that your car will be operational as quickly as possible.
