P/s Brainbox?

Ok So What Would Happen If I Ripped Out The "brainbox" For The Power Steering? Would That Affect My Steering?

If ur p/s is gone just rip it out, I did. If your p/s is still there, then it probably wouldnt work without it...

ahh.. I belive your speed assist or rev assist will be gone. I'm not sure if its failsafed. Having power steering at 45mph would totaly blow and be pretty close to not driveable imo... especialy if you're a nervous or shaky person, lol

the PS computer takes readings from your speed, and your steering, and computes this into steering pressure. If the computer is beeping, then either the PS computer has failed (more likely) or one of the sensors has failed (less likely)
