- Low power steering fluid: Check the power steering fluid reservoir and make sure it is filled to the proper level. If the fluid is low, add more fluid and check for any leaks in the system.
- Faulty power steering pump: The power steering pump is responsible for providing the hydraulic pressure that assists in turning the steering wheel. If the pump is faulty, it may not be able to generate enough pressure, resulting in a loss of power steering.
- Worn power steering belt: The power steering belt drives the power steering pump. If the belt is worn or loose, it may not be able to provide enough power to the pump, resulting in a loss of power steering.
- Faulty steering rack: The steering rack is responsible for converting the rotary motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion that turns the wheels. If the steering rack is faulty, it may not be able to properly transfer the power from the power steering system to the wheels, resulting in a loss of power steering.
- Faulty control valve: The control valve regulates the flow of power steering fluid to the steering rack. If the control valve is faulty, it may not be able to properly control the flow of fluid, resulting in a loss of power steering.
- Air in the power steering system: Air in the power steering system can cause a loss of power steering. Check for any leaks in the system and make sure the power steering fluid is free of air bubbles.
