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.

The owner got lucky on this one. Both by taking his car to your shop and that the accident didn't hurt his module/computer. Nice work narrowing down the loss of communication.

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.
Thankyou , I'm an apprentice trying to learn and adjust to the world of flat rate and appreciate your videos , very professional and proper inspection , cam always respect a real automotive Technician
I had a ford ranger 2016 yesterday to solve same issue vehicle involved collision and pscm was dead in water thankfully i got this detailed 👌 video was able to solve in no time.thx OZ cheers
This was the best trouble shooting video I've ever seen for the Ford Fusion. Where are the locations for the Oz Mechanic's. I'll take my car to them instead of Ford.
I wish I had/know an Experienced Tech like you living close by... I'm having the same problem in My 15 Infiniti Q50. My whole driver side PS Module was Missing and Wires were shredded. 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 have a Lincoln MKT with the same issue but I also my battery and alternator are weak do you think these what might be causing it? Since it’s electric steering
I’m having the same problem and am getting codes U0121 , U0131, and U1510. The ground connections are fine , I really don’t know what else to do. I’m thinking it’s a wire that broke but I don’t know what wire it would be. My car is a 2018 Chevy Malibu Ls.
I put a trans in and lost communication with the steering wheel. I saw your video I will look at the wires next I can't test for communication I only have a harbor freight 98614 OBDII/EOBD any recommendations?
Hey there stkmon. I’ve dealt with A lot of vehicles that have had wiring issues when they had engine or transmission replacement. Pinched wires were the common problems
Well it wasn’t the ignition cylinder. Steering assist fault service required light comes on. Could that be why car fail to start? 2015 Se 2.5 engine six speed automatic transmission
I have Ford focus model 2007 and I have problems with my steering it's to hard. I top up the steering fluid but nothing else is working. Kindly help! Thanks 👍
I have a similar problem. The power steering assist fault comes on and my car doesn't start. Would power steering assist cause the vehicle to not start? Also if I was to replace the rack & pinion do you have an idea of how much Ford charges for the programming?
Hi, I just had my car at the dealership, they did a diagnostic and reset my 2012 Fusion.... I changed my tires it drove all the way home, it felt good, but the error came back, for servicetrac and service power steering. What canI do now?
Hello I have a Mazda rx8 with only 40k miles and I changed the battery and now steering is a little bit stiffer when turning to the right….1 garage said I need a new rack at £900 lol i called around and a lot of people say I only need a reset from a computer…..what do you think
a sign of the quality of the owner repair is a look at the cable routing and the fact they cant even trim the end of a cable tie correctly ..... the owner has put polish on a terd ..... be careful putting your name near that car oz
Hi Oz I'm having the same problem and my 2012 ford fusion has been wrecked in the front I bought this car like this and a month down the road my power steering went out on me now its done it again and now my lights on my dashboard Is saying power steering service now and I have no steering at all can u help me please
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
I have a question,.I have a 2012 ford fusion with the same power steering module and it does NOT work but my question is,is there anyway to make it easier to steer somehow until I can get the new module????
Hello, got a no electric power steering situations too, is there a way to perform these tests you did to verify the integrity of signals/communications in the wires without the Diagnostic tool you have/used?
Hey buddy I’m having the same issue with my 2011 Ford fusion they said it was because of the tire sensors but I replaced them and it still doing the same was wondering where you were located at and see if you could check it out I’m down here in San Antonio Texas
They said on a UA-cam video that if you was having trouble with power steer assist fault it was because of a Tire 🛞 sensor. So I replaced all 4 of them and I’m still having the power steering assist fault on my car screen panel. What do you recommend?
Great work ! I have the same issue with my 2013 Ford Taurus but the problem occurs randomly when I turn the car ON and the steering gets back normal if I turned the car off for 15 min it has been a year since this issue started to occur any thoughts? thank you
Wow I can't believe no one's as needed this guy. Some other places, u see a lot more help. Not talking bout guy who made vid either but to the peeps who come on.

I just got my oil change like 3 weeks ago and on Monday morning my power steering fault came on. Later around 230p it was fine and now the fault is back.

Nice diagnostic work! Anywhere else would have wanted to change out all the wiring and modules. Lucky customer!
the problem with most mechanics they just want to change the whole thing instead of verifying if its a simple fix.
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.

what kinda scan tool are you using?
Recall on those ford.fusion steering modules
Hi, I have a 2012 Ford Fusion, how do you find the recall information?
#Nopartsrequired Good stuff bro!
Where is your location in Houston ?
Hello, got a no electric power steering situations too, is there a way to perform these tests you did to verify the integrity of signals/communications in the wires without the Diagnostic tool you have/used?
Not as precise. You can use a multimeter but it’s just going to show any glitches on the signal. The proper way is using a oscilloscope
Muy buena solucion gracias

For what my dealer is asking to replace the entire rack, I could ship my car to you for an easier and cheaper fix!
Benjamin Thorp main thing is to do a proper diagnosis to verify the actual problem
Oz Mechanics would you call scanning the engine code and quoting a $3,500 fix proper diagnosis? Lol
Benjamin Thorp I do know the rack and pinions are really expensive. Plus the program.
What part of the country are you in. Might need to get a second opinion
Oz Mechanics central Ohio. Dealer is saying that the module/sensors/motor/rack is all one part and the components aren’t serviceable.
