What does this fault code mean?

What you can do
- 1Start the engine and read the fault code status
- 2Have a workshop check that the parameter file matches the installed software
- 3If the internal fault is permanent, the module must be replaced: have a workshop do it
- 4Power steering affects how easily the car can be steered, so have a workshop fix the fault soon
Symptoms you may notice2

What the fault can affect1
