Was driving yesterday after 2 weeks of heavy rain here in TExas and at stop sign, felt like power steering had gone out because it got really "heavy" and stayed that way until I got home.
I've gone through all related threads here and see two paths to fix, according to others:
1. Most likely related to the FEM needed to be re-flashed / reprogrammed.
2. Pressure switch at power steering pump
There are zero other indications of FEM problem; everything seems to be working fine, so I'm not convinced the FEM needs a reflash.
But I don't know the role of the pressure switch nor understand how that might be related to my issue. Is there any thing else that perhaps send a speed signal to the FEM so it does the speed-sensitive steering?
