Hi all,
Thought I'd share my experience so far with my cars power steering problem. The assistance went and the red warning light came on a couple of times recently, switching off and on sorted the problem. Unfortunately the third time it happened the problem remained. I put a new battery on and still no assistance. I got hold of the green connector to link the ELM 327 cable I've got to check the steering system and found a fault code for low battery voltage and another for a problem of the car connecting with the electric steering motor ECU. I reset those codes and it is all back working fine now. It remains to be seen for how long but I'll report back how it goes.
