Power steering not working on my 2016 kia soul plus

Hey everyone, we’re having an issue with our 2016 Kia Soul Plus. The power steering isn’t working and the steering wheel has a warning light along with the ABS light on the dash. Any suggestions on what might be wrong or how to fix it?

sounds like the electric power steering system might be failing. did you check for any fault codes?

fault codes are error codes your car’s computer generates. you’d need a scanner to read them

if it’s the power steering motor, you might need to replace it

did you try scanning the system for fault codes?

you could also check the power steering fluid if it’s that type

been there, switching Wi-Fi didn’t help me though

sounds frustrating. hope you get it sorted
