Power Steering Warning

Symbol: Steering wheel with an exclamation mark

Medium — check soon

What it means

The power steering assist has a fault. The steering still works but feels much heavier, and it can be hard to turn at low speed.

What to do

Drive slowly and carefully to a shop. Check the power steering fluid level if your car uses hydraulic steering; many newer cars are electric and need a scan to find the fault.

Not repair advice. This is a general meaning for this warning light. Cars differ by make, model and year — confirm the fault with a scan tool and have the repair done by a qualified technician.
