After searching TH-cam and watching 2-3 other videos, yours is the only one to go over the reset lock to lock procedure. Thank you for being Thorough!
Most helpful video on TH-cam thank you so much!!!
if anyone ever needs this - if your steering wheel is kicking violently when you touch it the phases of the power cables are swapped! I have just finished converting my rx8 from right hand drive to left hand drive and for some reason RHD ones have the phases reversed!
Love the fresh content, def subscribed this was sooo helpful!
Thank you
AY YOO this was so good...👏
Guess I havent done the reset right to left..... gonna do that once I again go to clean my plugs.
Your engine bay looks immaculate. Cant hate a well maintained factory engine bay
Thank you for sharing!!🙏
Nice work, thanks
Great video thanks
proud of you boy
Good video, Thanks!
Thanks
gonna try this tomorrow wish me luck!
Thanks, “Andrew”
Quick question in so I'm doing a swap on my RX-8, and when I bought the car the guy never gave me the key. When you turn the key on to the second position for the lights to turn on in the car does your power steering turn on then? Would the key immobilizer keep it from coming on??
When I used to have a s2000 and you would just have to turn the key to Second ignition and you would have power to your steering.
My power steering only engages with the engine running
This is about Mazda 6 2009 ; ) but do you know if its possible to change steering torque sensor on the rack only? Or maby do some service on just that instead of change the whole rack? My steering is hard to right but easy to left. Thanks
Sounds like an electrical problem, im pretty sure you can change the sensor by itself, but its kinda hard to get to without removing a bunch of stuff
@@andrewcook3371 yes maby the sensor only but they dont sell it by itself.Need to change the whole steering rack. sounds crazy. Maby the diagnostic will tell something?
I've tried this and it didn't change anything unfortunately. - still stiff steering right and pulls to the left. ( Wheels aligned ) Any clues on other fixes? I think there are other plug I can clean but are harder to get to.... might be the next step before a rack replacement.
What got aligned on the car, was it a full alignment? Or was it just toe.
Okay 👍
Great video, thanks for awesome info... After cleaning the 2 bottom tray connections with silicon spray, my 2005 RX8 Power Steering still malfunctions. Though a bit stiff, I can still drive. Does anyone know if I will damage PS if I drive with faulty PS ? Thanks everyone and blessing!
I dont think it should damage the power steering components or just steering components, most cars are made to be able to drive without power steering in the event of an emergency.
@@andrewcook3371 ok great info thanks 🙏 somehow I took some PS fluid out of reservoir with pump and refilled. Days later my PS returned and now has worked for 2 months. Maybe it was low. Cheers and blessings 🙏
@@acemoto2319 power steering fluid? It's an electric system
@@michaelleader8300 Thanks for correction Michael, I got PS to work after driving for awhile. Maybe I had loose battery connection. Thanks again and continued blessings 🙏👍🌞
What happens if you snap one the plastic things when removing the hoses?
One of the plastic clips?
Or the tubes?
Maybe use small plastic zip ties if plastic anchors are not replaced. Usually they keep hoses and wires from rattling and damaging moving parts.
Porque sale el combustible en la rosca de la tapa de la pompa de un Mazda rx8 2004 no está bien instalada o qué cosa ayúdame es todo
Hey Andrew isn't there a way for me to just check my power steering fluid
Because it has electric power steering, there is no fluid
Also check blinker fluids :-)
My battery been unplugged for a year and now left steering is slightly hard but turns right normal 2009 rx8
If the reset didnt fix it, it might be a bushing, or ball joint issue. I assume that the car was sitting since the battery was unplugged. May need to be worked in a little bit.
Also note. This can happen when you disconnect your battery. I had to reset mine
Can u do the reset first?
Yes
No matter what i do stearing wheel is much harder turning right
Wait if you didn’t have power steering wasn’t it hard to get home?
Yes, It was
noo i have one and i always drive it like that
@@pedroparker8407 How long can one drive with faulty PS? I have same issued and wondering if I can continue driving without damage. Thanks Pedro
Should be fine to drive without it for as long as you want, just an inconvenience. Most steering systems are designed to work without power steering in the event of an emergency.
@@andrewcook3371 thanks
Is that a Shinka ?
No just 2004 GT
You didn't tighten the hose clamp at the throttle body. wth
I think i just forgot to put it in the video
Electronic I got it
Hey Andrew should I put connector grease on my connections after I use electronic cleaner
You can. This will give a better insulation. But not necessary
This does not reset your power steering. This calibrates your DSC.... DSC is Dynamic Stability Control which is a different system. I don't run DSC on our race car, I do use power steering.
Yes but if you disconnect your battery or anything where the power steering isnt working great this can help sometimes.
