Hello, please help I had my battery die so I got a new battery as it could hold new charge but now the power steering light won’t come off I turned the wheel to the right full lock then to the left even did it the other way it still didn’t work. I have drove the car and in the past that has made it come off.
 

What more can I do 😭?

 

 

Hello Adam, normally, random faults after a battery replacement clear themselves - I suggest getting a diagnostic plugged in to check for any fault codes, then clear them. 

@Warrior193i have a diagnosis scanner. For vw cars and under the steering wheel section. No codes come up and I click clear codes it doesn’t go ? After the battery was changed it used to come up but then would always go but now it doesn’t disappear

That may be the issue; "cheap scanners" are not supposed to clear latching fault codes like this.

Are you sure you're looking at the correct control unit? Steering Assist (VCDS module 44 under chassis tab, for cross-reference) rather than steering wheel, maybe?

 

If there is no real fault it will almost certainly clear itself after a few drive cycles though.

Best to have a look on the VCDS map and make direct contact with someone local who has it:
