Default P\S Light

I noticed that early in the morning when I start my car, the P\S light remains on and my steering wheel hard to turn. I shot down and start the car in 3 or 4 occasions and it goes off. What my cause this issue?

When the cart finally starts, the light does not come back on in the entire day. This only happens in the morning when I start the car so far.

Any input or help will be of great help

I'm no expert, but I would guess you have an issue with your power steering.

Personally, if I was you, I would go to a dealer and have it inspected since unexpected loss of power steering could quite easily lead to a fatal crash.

Also, it may help if you mention what year and model you have.

Now, if my car did this, I would hook up techstream and check for codes and run some diagnostics on the steering ECU. But I doubt you have this ability.

The only time my P/S light on the cluster came on was when my alternator went out while driving and ALL of the lights came on. LOL! I assume that since nothing else electrical seems to be giving you issues, your problem would NOT be the alternator.

My suggestion would be to let the car sit over night at the dealership and then have them pull the error code after they start it up. Hopefully the warning light illuminates for them.
