Hi guys , got some codes here that may help me Diagnose why my power steering cuts out randomly I bumped the kerb quite hard good few months back and mechanic had to install a rubber tube to solve the problem after a few weeks passing of perfect driving the power steering malfunction light came on and power steering was lost, I'm leaning heavily towards left front sensor is the cause of the trouble, here's the codes..

Looks like the kerb bump may have damaged the electric/electronic power steering and it's taken a while to manifest.

Prepare yourself for a new power steering.

Others will know more than I.

Yes a speed sensor fault can manifest a power steering fault, but you really need to get it on a proper diagnostic computer

Fixed, you ain't going to believe it, sart stop when enabled put extreme battery draw on the system when at idle battery would be at 14.3 IB 2.5~ , when I pulled away from motorway fuel station I forgot to switch it off , i had workshop mode on to keep an eye on the new battery, it was after awhile driving that the battery stats etc dropped dramatically , I turned it off and on to see the results, every time I switched it iff battery would spring temporarily to 14.8 and IB also go to plus and settle a I mentioned above. As titled suggests its fixed by simply turning off start stop before the engine is running, would like to get this rltrical issue fixed also as it may affect something elce, any ideas where I can look guys?
