Hi everyone,

I wonder if someone can help? We have a 2005 focus 2.0 diesel with hydro electric power steering failure. We have tried all 3 of our diagnostic tools - Texa, Snap-on and Carman scan and none of them will read it, although they have the facility to do so. If we go into Diesel injection we get the fault code U0131 - lost communication with power steering control module. We've checked the wiring to the pump and across the front of the car where we found some very bad earths, which have been rectified, and checked the continuity of all the wiring that is accessible. There seems to be little information about this code and, although the power steering is a common failure on these cars, we don't want to condemn the pump/ecu without being able to confirm it.

Thanks in advance
Kev
