nwsavvy Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Hi all, Well wanted to take SWIMBO shopping today, car started ok then alert Power steering malfunction. Engine light on and steering like a brick. On the mk3 I had would have first checked the fluid but not knowing this car, 2012 tdci 2.0 163 hp, I am confused on what the type of power steering is fitted. I tried using Forscan and it came back with something about power steering module not corresponding, or something to that order, should have taken a picture but have downloaded latest version now so no record Doh. Would someone be so kind as to clarify what system is fitted as cannot find PSF reservoir and am wondering if it is an all electrical system. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I think it'll be an electro-hydraulic pump. Electric pump & reservoir assembly will be mounted under the headlight if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all If it is an electro-hydraulic system, the module is part of the motor and reservoir assembly, under the headlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsavvy Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Hi Tom, thanks again, I found the pump etc but never thought of looking there for the module. Just finished decorating so tomorrow looks like the headlight out again and check for bad connections and wiring. Many thanks Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen23 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Did you check the fuse first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsavvy Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Hi, I checked the only fuse I could find ie the one in the engine bay the one I believe is 80 amp I think from memory is F13? that is he only one I know, If you can suggest another please get back. Thanks Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen23 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 It should be more fuses. Might be F22 . Have you got manual for the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsavvy Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Hi thanks for that. No I don't have a manual I must get one, have one for the mk3 so need one. I will download some wiring diagrams to see if I can find one. Many Thanks Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwsavvy Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Hi Zen, Many thanks will study that and see what I can find. Cheers Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsavvy Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Hi, checked every fuse on the car and all ok, all I can think now is pump assy. Ran car and cannot feel any vibrations from the pump no movement at all. Round to garage tomorrow and see what he says, same place I bought from. Funny when putting part number in all units seem to be for Galaxy motors and one for a Volvo which I know was done with Ford. Many thanks all for your help.

nwsavvy Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Hi, ECM not getting input from PSM so onother pump assy ordered from Bay of E. Another query, sorry, are these pumps plug and play or do they need coding? Thanks Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen23 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 If you ordered the same one it might be plug and play. Someone more knowledgeable might answer that. Is wiring OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsavvy Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 (edited) Hi yes wiring seems to be so, Mech put code reader and said contact not getting to ECM and no shorting registered. Ordered one looks same and has same part numbers. Just waiting now for arrival and mech is primed so hopefully all will be ok. Again thanks for your help Regards Barrie Edited May 29 by nwsavvy added part number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwsavvy Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Hi, well car is gone, now have a Focus Zetec S 2015 in blue so everything starts again🤪 Thanks all Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen23 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 🫣. I guess you didn't get chance to fit steering pump? Probably better to get newer car, which you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
