A flashing power steering warning light is an indication that there is something wrong with your BMW’s power steering system. So, don’t just ignore the light. Seek assistance from a mechanic to diagnose the problem.

1. What To Do When It
Turns On?

2. Nothing is more frustrating
than a flashing steering
wheel warning light.

3. There are several things
that can turn this warning
indicator on.

4. In this presentation we will
discuss some of them.

5. Let's begin by discussing a
few interesting facts about
car steering systems.

6. A Short Note On
Car Steering
System

7. Steering system helps the
driver to control the
direction and movement of
the vehicle.

8. Steering systems have
become more efficient and
responsive over time.

9. Particularly since the
invention of power steering
devices.

10. Power steering system is of
the following types;
• Electric power steering
system
• Hydraulic power
steering system
• Hybrid

11. Steering Wheel
Warning Light
Illumination:
Causes

13. Low Fluid
Level

14. Hydraulic fluid essentially
establishes a link between
the steering and front
wheels.

15. If its level drops, the power
steering system will become
unresponsive.

16. This may prompt the
onboard computer to turn
on the steering warning
light.

17. The Pump Is
Defective

18. The pump is the centerpiece
of a vehicle’s power steering
system.

19. Fault in a part of such
importance can also
activate the steering wheel
light.

21. Faulty Motor

22. Vehicles with an electric
power steering system
(EPS) come fitted with a
motor.

23. This motor, when energized,
enhances torque applied to
the steering wheel.

24. If it malfunctions, the
responsiveness of the
power steering system will
decrease.

25. And, the power steering
warning light may come on
as a result.

26. Failing
Sensors

27. To make steering easy, EPS
deploys an electric motor.

28. And, to function properly,
the motor relies on a
controller and a bunch of
sensors.

29. Fault in either of them can
bring down the power
steering system.

30. Bottom Line

31. If your vehicle’s power
steering warning light is on,
don’t take it lightly.

32. You have to do something
about it.
