You need new DAS modules 3 of them to be exact. You cant just replace 1, you need all three to be programed . Was in a similar situation ,the front module (steering ECU) was damaged .
If you are experiencing difficulty in turning the steering wheel of your 2016 Infiniti and it feels unusually heavy, there could be several possible causes. While I can provide some general guidance, please keep in mind that diagnosing and repairing automotive issues is best left to trained professionals. However, here are a few steps you can take: Check the power steering fluid: Inspect the power steering fluid reservoir, located under the hood. Ensure the fluid level is within the recommended range. If it is low, you may need to add more power steering fluid. Refer to your vehicle's owner manual for the correct type of fluid and instructions on how to add it. Inspect for leaks: Look for any signs of power steering fluid leaks around the hoses, connections, and power steering pump. Leaks can cause a loss of power steering assistance. If you find any leaks, it's important to have them repaired by a professional mechanic. Check the drive belt: A worn or loose drive belt can result in reduced power steering assistance. Inspect the drive belt that connects the power steering pump to the engine. Look for signs of wear, cracks, or looseness. If necessary, have a mechanic adjust or replace the belt. Test the power steering pump: The power steering pump provides hydraulic pressure to assist with steering. If the pump is faulty, it may not be providing sufficient pressure. A professional mechanic can perform tests to evaluate the pump's performance and determine if it needs repair or replacement. Assess the steering system components: Other components such as the steering rack, tie rods, or ball joints could be worn or damaged, causing excessive resistance in the steering system. These components should be inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify any issues. Consult a professional mechanic: If the above steps do not resolve the problem, it is recommended to take your Infiniti to a certified mechanic or an Infiniti dealership for a thorough diagnosis. They have the specialized tools and expertise to accurately identify the underlying cause of the hard steering and provide appropriate repairs. Remember, dealing with steering-related issues is crucial for your safety on the road. It is always best to have a qualified professional inspect and repair any problems to ensure your vehicle is in proper working condition.
Hi sir Ahmed is here I so this video now when I visit your channel but you can upload this video four days ago but I so now ihave same car q50 and also accident and I have same issue steering related steering wheel to hard waht you do fix that car please let me know boss
Hello, I have a 2014 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Premium AWD with adaptive steering and wanted to know if there is interchangeable Rack and Pinions for my car. I contacted the dealer and they said it’s about 4-5k for exact OEM replacement from dealer. I’m trying to see if I can find another one that will fit from a more common model. Thanks
I just had my car drive shaft break in my rack and pinion and locked up my car steering. Same issue I have awd, with das and only can get new part.. better call insurance for a claim😅😂
it can be sonar, it can be abs control module, it can be faulty steering wheel actuator. there are above 15 different things which may result in that failure or just CAN bus wire issue. once I found post about replacing ABS sensor which fixed that issue. That ADAS system had to be more isolated and part of it - DAS had to be designed differently to prevent from such failures.
@@nazarbarabash6381 so i currently am driving with no bumper and my sonar sensors are disconnected, can DAS recalibrate itself with these sensors off, no parking aid? My traction light is also on, I went to a shop and they want to charge me 160+ for DAS calibration but possible no fix, should I install the sensors back on?
@deeppurple313 so you had a yellow steering icon on the dash, a hazard triangle and the traction light on? There is a difference as some people only get the traction light on along with the triangle and no steering icon. Which lights did you have on?
Alright So I was able to solve my issue and it was extremely easy actually. All I did was took the vehicle for a drive. I found a nice straight road and did speeds exceeding 60mph. The vehicle automatically calibrated the steering and all the lights that were on the cluster went off and vehicle and is back to normal with 0 issues ever since.
@@mugz90 i thought of doing the same thing but i might have to change my old battery for a new one since it has been dying on me. Thanks for feedback 🙏🏽
Guessing game could get too expensive...this should be a recall from Infiniti..they should be held liable for any accidents..my steering went dtiff while driving slow...can you imagine on the freeway

@@BestCarFixes 2016 does not have power steering fluid. Steering is fully electrical.
@@BestCarFixes LOL You are NOT a professional. DAS cars DO NOT have power steering fluid. hahahaha

look for a used one from eBay or car-part.com

Yes , as long as the Q50 came with adaptive steering regardless hybrid or regular motor

Im having the same issue
I recommend charging the battery if not then switch the battery if that don’t work then it’s the DAS

Hi did you fix the problem ?
@deeppurple313was this for your Q50? Did you get the same codes and lights as this video?
@deeppurple313 that’s odd as normally changing the 3 modules fixes it or getting it reprogrammed at a dealer.
@deeppurple313 so you had a yellow steering icon on the dash, a hazard triangle and the traction light on?
There is a difference as some people only get the traction light on along with the triangle and no steering icon. Which lights did you have on?
@deeppurple313what codes were you getting? Did you get the 4WAS code from the abs module? Did you get any codes from the Dast module?
ياباش مهندس إيش الحل لهذي المشكلة آنــآآ عندي انفنتي وصارلها حادث امامي وتأثر واحد من الكمبيوترات تبع علبة الدركسيون وحاليا اريد اشتري واحد جديد بس ماعرف كيف ابرمجة ع سيارة وهل بيرجع طبيعي بعد البرمجة ارجوا الإفادة

What was the fix? I’m having the same issue
this one need configuration
@@BestCarFixes dast1 or dast2????
I am having this problem right now , would I need new DAS module ?
@@ifty5446 I replaced my battery and the steering worked itself after a short drive
Had the same problem, I changed the battery and let the car run for a while. Problem was gone. Hope it helps :)
I have the same problem does anyone know what’s the problem
IM having the same issue here
@Deeppurple thanks, im having the same issue atm

@deeppurple313 did you replace it and what were DTC codes if you remember?
