Message Center Displays STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: This message appears when a condition has been detected requiring the PSCM to disable the system (remove assist) to help prevent the system from sustaining any possible damage. This message (and related symptom) may be cleared when the ignition is cycled and may not be present at the time of diagnosis or may not clear until the condition is repaired.
NOTE: This message appears if a condition exists (high friction for example) putting extra load on the EPAS gear. Steering assist remains for the current ignition cycle. If the ignition is turned OFF and then back ON, STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW appears in the message center and steering assist is removed until the condition is repaired.
