The steering wheel light may illuminate due to the following reasons: 1. Generator malfunction: Unstable power supply can trigger the steering wheel light. 2. Loose connection in the power steering system: Causing partial fluid leakage. 3. Power steering pump failure: Damage to the power steering pump may also activate the steering wheel light. 4. Air in the system: Presence of air in the steering system can lead to abnormal steering. 5. Mechanical damage: Damage to the steering gear piston cylinder, degraded sealing performance of oil seals, or control valve failure. 6. Foreign objects: Presence of debris in the steering hydraulic lines may cause the steering pump flow control valve to stick.
