Man. Great Video! Informative. To the point. Not a bunch of other info to get sidetracked. Fast pitched and fast fixed. Thanks.
❤Best video I've seen. Informative an straight to the point.
Solid video! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for this valuable video 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much you have helped me incredibly
Great video, thank you.
CHANGE YOUR BATTERY! I had all these problems and changed my battery! Fixed!!!!!!\
Thanks for the video. The dealer seems to be unsure of what could be the problem. I bought a new 2023 CT5 V6 550T and about a month ago, the car wouldn't start. The car had under 2000 miles and Cadillac Roadside assistance changed the battery. Now, a month later and 2700 miles, the DIC said "Steering assist is reduced. Drive with care" and " Service power steering. No assist soon". It goes in in two weeks. I'm assuming it was from the battery change as you mentioned. I restarted the car and it went away. Now I'm afraid to go anywhere with a new car because it's unreliable.
Thank you very much!!
Hello, I am getting U0131 code on a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500. Do i need to take it to the dealer or i can fix it myself?
My 2019 Chevy Blazer RS showed up with the same exact codeP0128 at our home when we checked it on the code reader device . I took it to the Chevy dealership & was told it was the Radiator leaking coolant that is why the temperature was low. $2400 later, the same codes are coming up after only 2 weeks & it now reads same code & says coolant thermostat! I was ripped off. Thank you for this video. Very helpful
Experiencing this with my 19 Blazer RS :( time to get rid of it I guess lol
Thank you very much
Hi i got this message on my Cadillac XT5 " Steering assist is reduced drive with care " plus my temperature gauge is always at " C " and the radiator fan is at high speed ... do you think is the thermostat ?
Hi, charge system could cause this code too?
Mine is below 13v.
And I have front passenger seat airbag exploded.
Thanks
I'm getting the steering fluid code. Drive with care. But the engine temperature looks like it's getting high. I just had the transmission fluid changed at valvoline. That's when the engine light came on. My o b d tester won't give me any codes. I think I need to update my OBD2. Is there a belt that goes to the power steering?
I have a 2017 gmc Acadia and it’s saying the same thing but I’ve noticed my engine is extremely hot like way hotter than normal
This warning started popping up 3 days ago, and it sounds like there's a loud fan/blower going. And then just now the engine light came on... any ideas??
If the fan is full speed even with the car off, it lost com with the temp sensor. Unhook battery and rebook it up. If that don't work, replace sensor and then unhook and rebook battery
Hello I've gotten this code once, but also my truck does this weird thing where it gets hard to turn for a spit second and then it stop it this related to this same issue, please help if you can. Thanks!
my 2016 yukon was doing the exact thing you mentioned. I had it towed to the shop today, as I was scared it would do it again and cause wreck. Have you had your vehicle checked out?
I have no codes popping up on mine, any ideas?
My scan tool does not pick up any codes... the battery was bad and replaced... any idea what the cause could be?
I am also getting no AC to come out of my vehicle and also getting the Service Stabilitrac error message as well. Checked the battery. I am NOT getting a OBDII code as no codes are popping up any ideas?
I’m getting same thing with 2014 Silverado. No codes. What could this be?
My truck is haven this problem help pleas
I had lost communication with tcm and also power steering reduced...all I did was select the fuel app and all the codes dissappeared🤔...maybe software update?anyone having same issue?
Mine is showing a p0178 and it gave me another problem
My gmc 2017 got p0796 code
Mine says power steering drive with care, what does that mean? My car only has 9k
Just got home with mine- it has 23 miles. Light came in, steering assist, no power steering. Getting towed to dealer tomorow ffs…
I went to o Reilly and he put the the scanner on and no codes. Are up. Now what?
Some scan tools only scan for engine codes but not transmission, ABS, or SRS codes. You may need to take the car to a mechanic and have them scan for errors.
My car started doing this because my battery was bad when I replaced the battery I had no further problems
Hey, was that on the 2020 lt malibu? If so, did the car COMPLETELY restart when auto STOP actives??
I just replaced battery it was my first thought. I have a 2018 Malibu but its realistically made it 2017, so the battery was way beyond life when this started happening a week ago. Replaced battery and I don’t see the sign anymore
It’s time to crack open one of those modules and see where the cost cut was that caused harm to life and property…take them to court ASAP
can you still drive the vehicle?
I've had this error come and go. The Acadia seems to drive fine, just that if you start to move out of your lane the car will not correct itself.
I've been back-and-forth with g.M and Firestone for a year.Telling them these symptoms that they claim never existed until it was out of warranty.And now i'm stuck with fixing and replacing this rack. Its been sitting for a month. Fuck GM
Mine came on after doing a burn out 😂😂
My daughter in law had to take my spare Durango because the Chevy Colorado is on the street with no power steering poor thing just got the tranny leak fixed and the a/c filled because the connection is not the size from a store bought 134a can …I mean who put together this crap ? Any way battery looks good I tried the on and off to reset it and that didn’t work …it’s like 110 outside in the shade and Hercules would have to turn the wheel to get it up in the driveway…if this had happened when she was driving it there is no way she could have kept from driving off into a ditch…law suits are definitely coming …that’s pre meditated murder to know a faulty system with such a safety issue would even be able to be manufactured!!!!!It has an electronic power steering module…Huh? That should have been a red flag warning right there no wonder they sold it to her used…anyway going to go out there and sweat it out to see if it’s the wiring harness or a battery hard reset …I will keep what you said on the back burner ..but that should in no way cause this issue..but I’m not saying your wrong because obviously the e engineering’s department should be locked up for attempting vehicular man slaughter!Im going to make a lot of money on this one …2015 my ass it’s happening in 2019 as well as all of them all the way to 2023 …
It’s time to crack open those modules and find out where the cost cut was to endanger life and property
And one more thing I might add ..no censor or especially a thermostat or even anything that could interrupt a vehicle safely maneuvering from the steering source can and will be proven negligent …if anyone dies from such an idiotic device …regardless of a pre programmed warning warranty uploaded to the system on board computer is not a wavier transferable in court …!!!
I call BS to GM on all this! It’s prolly pre programmed to throw this crap! It all happens at 50k when it just gets out of warranty! Then what about all the people that do all this and it keeps coming back? It’s in the software I’ll bet!
Wrong!
