What are the troubleshooting steps to determine what is wrong with the power steering. I suspect the control module. It was intermittent for a couple days and now is out. Should I just replace the assembly. Looks like they are a unit.
Thanks

Before you troubleshoot you need to have the power steering control module scanned with a tech 2. Need to see what code is in the sys for proper diagnoses. These modules are replaced as a whole unit, which is the whole steering colounm and are VERY expensive. This would be a costly mistake if not diagnosed wright. Post back with the code first.
