My F has officially broken for the first time
So I was lacking a car for the day and needed to go some where so I pulled the F out of the garage during winter. I was running around doing something's and my power steering light came on and my car started turning like a tank. Cycled the key and it went away. Half an hour later it quit again. Over the course of the after noon I lost and regained power steering 6 times.... Scetchy. I have an appointment at the shop that works on my car . I hope the power steering computer just needs a reset or something but who knows. Praying I don't need a steering rack.

If it is the rack, the good news is you can find a any late model 2IS in the junkyard and get a "new" rack. I'm betting on the battery though.

Definitely keep us posted. I know that you run your car harder than most members given the tracking that you do and the mods that you have, so your car has really been a good example of what this car is capable of from a reliability even when driven hard standpoint. I bet it is just the battery.

I have just under 65000 miles. Didn't even think of a battery. But I bet that's it because I noticed the master window switch didn't operate any of the other windows which I've see the F do after a battery was pulled. Il test the battery before bringing it to the shop.

Did the battery fix it? I am having an issue right now where my steering on right hand turns is grinding. I am trying to figure out if it is power steering or something else.

keep us posted. Hope you get it sorted. Thats the first time I have come across this code.
Mine is in the shop for the belt slip noise, sun roof rattlle, seat squeak, and oil change.

Did you happen to do the 2012 retrofit, or are you still on your original ECU?

I've never heard of anyone having your issue before, nor do I have any idea how it spontaneously went bad, unless you swapped out your ECU at some point.

Or scrap the whole rack and ECU. My car has this issue. You might imagine how pissed off I was to find this LSB long after my warranty was expired.
