What does it mean when the steering system warning light is yellow?
1 Answers
The steering system warning light comes on due to a malfunction in the power steering system, or it could be caused by foreign objects in the steering hydraulic lines leading to a stuck flow control valve in the steering pump. Here are the details: 1. Specific situation: When the yellow light is on, it indicates partial failure of the steering system, requiring more force to turn the steering wheel. When the red light is on, the steering system has completely failed, and the power system provides no assistance. Possible issues include: heavy steering, abnormal steering noise, steering wheel vibration, and poor steering wheel rebound capability. 2. Check for oil leaks: Under normal conditions, the steering pump should not leak oil. However, it is still necessary to inspect the connecting parts and joints in the power system and steering system for any signs of leakage. If the steering system warning light comes on, the most accurate diagnostic method is to use a fault code reader to quickly identify the error code and then proceed with repairs.
