Help!!!

My 2011 Mazda 6 diesel, 64,000 miles electronic PAS has gone!!! It drove fine until it was really hard to to turn, I had a right job getting it home.

Oddly enough though, the car was making a humming noise only today on the right hand side.

The orange steering light with the exclamation mark came up. 

Others online say the entire rack has to be replaced!!! What I don't know is do reconditioned/remanufactured parts come with the two sensors inside?! HELP!!

Did you check the fuse?

And ... what did your manual say that means?

Others online say a lot of things. A lot of wrong things.

do reconditioned/remanufactured parts come with the two sensors inside?

which re-manufacturer? How should I know? Ask the remanufacturer

 

But did you run a diagnostic scan to see what the problem is? So you don't have to throw parts at it and guess?

As you were told before, you need to follow the directions that were shown to you. Post your odometer every time. Don't make us keep reminding you. Thanks.

the owners manual doesn't tell you a lot about warning lights

you mean like this page

I plugged in a scan tool but no code came up but it was a smaller scan tool, not a big one like Autel.

No, I haven't checked any fuses and also, the owners manual doesn't tell you a lot about warning lights on cars.

The mileage is just gone over 64000 miles.

I can't view the manual online, it says not viewable in my region, I'm fron England

I turned it on this morning and the light has gone and it works fine now, drove it for 20 minutes. I will update later.


@lawrence1993 did you go to the Mazda UK website?
