Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Just started the car today and the warning shown in the photo came up. Can anyone help to tell me how to cancel it please many thanks p

POST 2Original post

Just press the "Back" button, as indicated by the symbol in the lower yellow line. It won't clear the fault, but will give you back the MFD display. That fault indicates a Power Steering Failure. So either it is a random code it's thrown, or you have a steering fault. Try >engine off, restart, hold 2000 rpm whilst stationary and work the steering a couple of times fully left and right, all the way to the stops. Engine off. Re start and see if the fault persists.

POST 3Original post

If it's a 981 there can be issues with the steering rack failing - water ingress into the electrics that requires a complete new rack. Warranty will sort it, if not you're looking at c£2k. If it's still operating with the usual assistance then it could be a glitch.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks for the responses - the car is 2015 model by the way. I took it for a run and couldnt find any issues but it had been parked for a while and the battery charger not connected so it was flat - could this have caused the issue? P

POST 5Original post

Low battery can throw up just about any error code, so it's a distinct possibility. If the power steering had failed you'd notice it at low speeds for sure.

POST 6Original post

Put the battery on a tender and leave for 24 hours then see if the error comes back. If it does you may need to clear it using a diagnostic tool. As mentioned, a flat battery will through loads of errors that can go away once the car is driven for a bit.
