Power Steering ESC

That one is new to me. Don't think anyone here has had that.
I saw it one time about 2 months ago. It's one of the software glitches GM engineers are working on. Its nothing to worry about unless the warning doesn't go away on the next ignition cycle or if it's accompanied by a CEL (check engine light).

You instrument cluster is diff then mine. While mine is not an RS, I have no ACTIV on my Tack. And my temp gauge just has an ARROW that points just as the quarter marks, no dashes like the gas tank has. You would think they would be the same.
Yes thank you. It does go away on the next ignition sequence. Regarding the instrument cluster layout, no sir this was part of the updated package I believe. I’m a believer I like it it looks nice
"updated" or just the RS version?
My RS instrument cluster looks the same. The RS also has a different shifter and a flat bottom steering wheel which the other models don't have.

Cool. I just have the boring old ACTIV.
Well the Activ and RS are the top 2 models just designed a little differently. I like aspects of both. The Activ has good ground clearance plus better approach and departure angles. The RS is more sporty and street oriented. My favorite features on the RS is the small flat bottom steering wheel and the grill, but I like the LT and Activ wheels better. Can't go wrong with either one! 👍

Scary. Mine just came on.
SO, is this only happening on the RS models?
Take it to the dealer and show them that pic, have them run a code check. There are a small amount of codes popping for folks, we got one on our Active model for something, I forget now, but it was not stored in computer. Some say these are "ghosts" in the machine and that GM is working on software updates for these cars. If that warning comes on and says on, even after you stop and start the car then I would get her to a dealer for sure.

I just happened to left the dealer after picking up accessories I got with GM Reward points. After 1 1/2 hours they corrected the issue on my RS
What was issue? This could help others as some dealers seem to be willing to help with issues while others kinda well, be a dealer.

Paperwork states:
“Found codes for Loss of Communication and Zero Center. Relearned steering system and reprogrammed steering control unit”
Whatever this means. Hope it helps others.
Got to love electronics.
Stay safe! If you notice strange operation from the steering whee or motor, pull over and have it towed, however most I’m hearing is that the codes go away after a motor restart, meaning turn off the car after you put it in park get out like it then redo everything unlock it get in turn it on and check. Safety first
Sounds like rebooting a microsoft run computer after it locks up. ha ha ha ha
Exactly! Haha “gotta love electronics”
