Heeeeeeelllllllpppppp

Hi All
Having a couple of problems with my FL2

1st DSC warning light flashing on I.P, can't switch on / off - No fault code on fault finder
2nd Screeching comming from rhs of engine .PAS is heavy some times could it be the PAS pump?
Only done 37000 miles. Work in Halewood can't get help for love nor money.

Any advice would be great

Cheers ( FREEL2 newbie ) Mad

Could be power steering pump, but it could also be the idler pully for the belt.
Lidt bonnet, get somone to operate steering, when it gets heavy does the pump slow/stall? If it's the pulley there will be noise/smoke from it rather than from pump.
What type of diagnostic reader, cheap ones only read engine codes, not transmission/brakes etc . Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Expense depends if you are doing the work yourself.
Pulley and new belt shouldn't be too expensive.
Also check the PS fluid reservoir, the in-built filter is about as good as a chocolate teapot, blocks at the least provocation, and then knackers the pump!
Ther are posts on here that describe how to check the correct flow, bubbles not good, might be possible to forceably remove the filter as a temporary measure. new reservior on ebay for £26.
Power steering pump is around £400, similar price for the steering rack.

The cougar reader is a OBDII reader, good for basic engine codes, but will not read the error codes generated by the other systems, such as the airbags, ABS, transmission, body controller, etc.

You need to find someone with a more powerful reader, such as a LR specialist, LR dealer, or an enthusiast who has forked out £300+ for a reader such as the Hawkeye Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
