Over the past 2 weeks when I first start my car I randomly get the "service vehicle soon", "service steering system" and "service stability system" along with the T/C light, abs light and parking brake light on the cluster staying on. I originally just turned the car off and back on and everything would stay off. The next time it happened, it took multiple restarts to finally clear it and now it randomly comes on while driving. When all the warning lights are on the brake lights stay illuminated and the steering is heavy or hard to turn. However as soon as I get it to start without the warnings it is easy to steer again. Is there an electric assist somewhere or can the computer adjust the steering pump?? The T/C and stability control does not engage when there is wheel spin, etc. I'm going to check the grounds and probably go ahead and replace the SWPS..any other ideas??

My caddy is starting to do the same. Any resolution for this issue?

Definitetly check your grounds first

There is a valve in the steering rack that the car uses to vary steering effort. I wish I could help further.

I took it to the dealer and hooked it up to the TechII. We were getting weird readings from the EBCM. They reprogrammed the EBCM and all is well They suspected the guy who did my exhaust welded on the car without disconnecting the battery. I haven't had any problems since so I'll take it.

That sounds like a bad battery, ground problem, or EBC/ABS module. Welding on the car with the battery connected could have given you some/all of the above. Glad you got it resolved. I'd still check the battery and grounds.

I just changed my WPS on the column and it changed nothing. Any thoughts?

If you are sufferin from heavy steering, should you check the power steerin pump?

Maybe there isnt enough pressure in the lines and that is causing all your issues...

Why would you bump a 1000 year old thread if you don't have the same problem?

Could it be debris in the fluid either causing a clog or sticking in one of the rack's teeth?

Try the V2 powersteering pump.

It is much easier on the arms, and it works great with 305 tires in the front...

Just a little machining is needed and you are done, dont forget to also get the V2 pulley...

I haven't been on here in years! I had the exact same problem today. It was the abs fuse under the drivers side rear seat fuse box.. I understand a blown fuse causing the dash lights to go crazy. Can't believe that little fuse put a stop on my power steering.
