I had the same warning come on twice a few weeks ago. My power steering fluid was low so I went and purchased some CHF fluid and topped it off and luckily it hasn't come back on again, knock on wood. I remember someone had this issue in the past and it ended up being a sensor in their steering wheel which fixed their issue.

I have a can of that CHF fluid from NAPA. I have already topped mine off. I have also topped off the brake fluid. I can not seem to find a part number for the steering angle sensor though.

I heard if the alignment is out of whack it will cause error codes also. So I took it to the local alignment shop that uses a new gen laser alignment machine and had them check it. Lets just say it was more than out of whack and needed some TLC from the alignment master! Boy did it change how the car drives and handles. I swear it peels off the line now where as before it...well....didnt! Hope this helps the error codes, but only time will tell.
