Im having constant issues with steering going incredibly light randomly. Never heavy and no lights on the dash. I changed the angle sensor and it made no difference, now its been suggested to change the loom. I had a scan done above with engine ticking over and its showing sensor reference voltage " too low ". Problem possibly is worse in wet weather.

Can anyone shed any light on the scan results please?!

The pump is definitely giving too much assistance randomly.

What is the error code?

Quick update, this was indeed the alternator load wire damaged but not completely snapped at the usual place in front of the gearbox. The wire had chaffed against the connector it was inserted in and had worn approx half way through. Problem fixed and steering issues sorted.

Thanks for your help guys
