Traction control light and no power steering

Hi,

The first thing I would suggest is to check the steering fuse. If the electric power steering fails, it will affect the abs. However, if there is a bad wheel speed sensor, it shouldn't affect the steering.

If you look at the two pics below, I included the wiring schematic for the electric power steering and highlighted the two fuses to check. You know the 80 amp already. Pic 2 shows the junction box in the vehicle. I highlighted fuse 35. Check that one as well.

In addition to checking the fuses, confirm there is power to and from them. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

See pics below.

We checked both fuses. The 80 amp as well as the 10am (#35) in the vehicle. Both fuses tested and checked out to be okay.
Now we’re leaning to maybe something in the steering column?

Is there power available to both fuses? As far as the issue, if there is power to the fuses and they are good, you really should consider having the can-bus system scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, all the modules and computers are tied together via this network. As a result, you will retrieve diagnostic trouble codes regardless of which module is storing them.

Here is a video showing it being done:

If you can have that done, it will likely save a lot of time. I can't guarantee it, but chances are in your favor that it will point you in the right direction. Otherwise, it becomes a guessing game.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
