What causes the steering wheel warning light to illuminate in a vehicle?
1 Answers
Vehicle steering wheel warning light illumination may be caused by: 1. Excessive air in the power steering system, resulting in abnormal steering; 2. Foreign matter in the steering hydraulic pipeline causing the steering pump flow control valve to stick; 3. Loose connections in the power steering system leading to steering fluid leakage; 4. Excessive wear of the steering gear piston cylinder, poor oil seal sealing, or control valve sticking/damage. Solutions: 1. Inspect steering gear, steering pump control valve, oil reservoir filter, and steering fluid, then clean the entire power steering system; 2. Check tire pressure and refill if low; 3. Examine all oil pipe connections and tighten mounting bolts; 4. Replace oil pipes, power steering pump, or steering gear as needed.
