What is the reason for the "Please Check Power Steering" message in a Buick car?

This is an issue with the wiring, and it is recommended to have it inspected at a 4S dealership. Below is a detailed introduction about Buick cars: 1. Introduction: Buick is an automobile brand marketed by General Motors in the United States, Canada, and China. It is sold in North America, China, CIS countries, and the Middle East. 2. Main Models: Buick includes many well-known models such as the Buick Excelle, Buick Excelle GT, Buick Verano, Buick Envision, Buick Regal, Buick LaCrosse, Buick Encore, Buick Encore GX, Buick Envision, Buick Envision S, Buick Envision Plus, Buick Enclave, and more.
I've driven quite a few Buick models and encountered this warning before—it's really annoying. The most common reason is insufficient power steering fluid, which could be due to a leaking reservoir or rapid aging consumption. I suggest you first pop the hood, locate the power steering fluid reservoir, and check if the fluid level is below the marked line. If it's low, top it up with the appropriate fluid right away. But the issue isn't just about the fluid; if the power steering pump is failing, it might produce a humming noise, and a loose or broken belt can also render the system ineffective. Some Buick models feature electric power steering, where a faulty sensor or control module error could trigger the warning light. I remember when I was fixing my own car, I found the leak was coming from a small hose. For safety, don't push through it—struggling with steering can lead to loss of control. It's best to drive to a proper repair shop as soon as possible for a computer diagnosis to avoid unnecessary expenses.
