    Default Power steering hard sometimes

    This may have been discussed and on a forum I did see a 2005 or 2004
    post on this but not the solution. I find my steering is sometimes hard.
    When turning just backing up out of the driveway or on the road and
    turning either direction. DOn't see that it has anything to do with the
    unit and no leaks. Seems someone somewhere did mention a module that
    controls the steering and I don't know enough about it to say more. Has
    anyone had this experience? My C5 is a 99 Coupe.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Nope, but someday.

    HI there,

    Your best course of action is to see if there is any codes in the TCS system to see if the Magnasteer is giving any codes.

    Then, validate if the steering wheel position sensor is working correctly.

    Allthebest, c4c5
