Below are the details: Lack of Power Steering Fluid: Symptoms of low fluid: oil level too low, causing abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel; poor lubrication when the car is cold, leading to internal wear and abnormal noises; difficulty steering or even inability to steer. Solution: the steering fluid needs to be replaced, and the oil level should be within the specified range. If the fluid is insufficient, after checking for no leaks in all parts, the power steering fluid should be replenished with the specified brand. Issues with the Power Steering Sensor: If the power steering sensor fails, it will not detect signals, and the most obvious symptom is that the steering wheel becomes very heavy when turning.
