WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For DTC U3000:41, the PSCM will remove steering assist, enter into a manual mode and transmit an invalid steering angle message over the HS-CAN bus. The module will also send a message to the instrument cluster to display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT message in the message center.

For DTC U3000:46, initially the PSCM will use a default steering assist and may set DTC U2100:00. If DTC U3000:46 returns on the next ignition cycle, then the PSCM will remove steering assist, enter into a manual mode and send a message to the instrument cluster to display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT message in the message center.

For DTC U3000:49, the presence of this DTC may or may not affect steering assist. It will depend on what other DTCs (if any) are set along with U3000:49. Diagnose all other DTCs before diagnosing U3000:49.

For DTC U3000:61, the PSCM will remove steering assist, enter into a manual mode and transmit an invalid steering angle message over the HS-CAN bus. The PSCM will also send a message to the instrument cluster to display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT message in the message center.

For DTC U3000:72, this DTC indicates that a specific internal relay is either stuck open or has excessive resistance. In cold climates or climates where frost is possible, the relay contacts could develop a layer of frost which may prevent a clean connection between the relay contacts. It may be necessary to allow the vehicle to remain outside overnight in a cold climate to duplicate the DTC trigger conditions. If U3000:72 sets again on subsequent ignition cycles, then the PSCM will remove steering assist, enter into a manual mode and send a message to the instrument cluster to display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT message in the message center.

For DTC U3000:96, the instrument cluster will display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT in the message center when this DTC is set. DTC U3000:96 cannot be cleared using the scan tool, to clear this DTC follow the pinpoint test instructions.
