justtobreathe Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 So my car was in the shop last week because I got an error that said service advance Trac and service power steering now. Took it in to the dealer, they changed the whole steering rack (and its all electric as I have a Flex Fusion). Got it home yesterday, drove for a bit, and the code came right back! I don't know much about cars, anyone know what could cause this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 All 2010-2012 (and newer) have EPAS (electric power assist steering). This seems to be a common issue, and when both advancetrac and steering faults it is generally in the rack. I think the Torque Sensor and the Steering Wheel Position Sensor are part of the rack, no other steering inputs for steering are involved, there are others for advancetrac. Pretty sure that since you likely paid a diagnostic fee and a fee to have it replaced that you should be able to take it back and have it covered by the previous work done. Does it come on all the time and have you lost steering? Or does it come up after you take the steering to one extreme or the other (fully turned to the left, or right, or a wide sweep)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtobreathe Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Everytime I turn on the car I get both errors popping up and steering is very difficult to turn, unsafe to drive for sure. Car is parked now because the error is up every single time I turn it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
