Hello, Thanks for using Just answer. Do you know which power steering setup you have? Electric motor or belt driven pump? If you have the belt driven pump all you would have to do is top the fluid reservoir off that is located on the pump. If you have the electric one. You should have a check engine light. If so you will need to get the codes drawn from the computer to determine what's going on. It could be a blow fuse or a bad motor. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks

Hello, It is a pleasure to meet you Jeanmarc. Is your check engine light on? If so would it be possible for you to get the fault codes?

How will I get the fault codes?

They make apps but I have never used them. You will need a special device. A part store will pulled them for you as well.
