Chevy cobalt power steering warning on dash fix

[@kb2825]

I worked for a 🤮"dealership" that this was coming in often. I was coached to not easily fix this, instead make the job bigger than what it is. Meaning removing parts etcetera. Of course, so the customer doesn't know it's a simple fix. Good job on the video.🤙

Pontiac G5 2007 2.2 L ecotec motor- I had the dreaded power steering error, harsh automatic transmission shifts, no tach, speedometer not always working. I jumpered a ground between the strut tower and the TCM and the car worked great for a couple days then refused to start. After looking around the Engine wiring I found the ground terminal G105? located on the front drivers side of the engine/ tranny mount was rotted off! It had 4 smaller wires going into a larger round copper crimp connector . literally fell apart when i touched it. It is located near the oil filter housing under a hose. There was another connector on the backside of the engine (also drivers side near the top of engine) that was in poor condition so I soldered and replaced that ground as well. That was over a month ago and car is running great since then. The TCM ground seems like a temporary fix atleast in my case, real problem was a lack of electrical grounding, hope this helps someone.

[@ykmalachi]

This is a great reply. I'll try and pin to the top!

MYSTERY %$#&**%$ SOLVED!! Cobalt owners with following symptoms: while driving, the dreaded “ding ding” sound followed by security light coming on dash, gauges go wonky (speedo, fuel and rpms bounce to zero and back) Power Steering light may come on, sometimes jerky auto transmission shifting, sometimes loss of Power Steering and/or car going into Limp Mode. My daughter has had her 2008 Cobalt Coupe for less than a year, we bought it used with about 110K miles on it. I have been troubleshooting trying to fix this issue since around the time she got it, like many of you, to no avail. I have spent hours researching on the internet (thank you to all of you Cobalt Warriors who have been hounding this too, with all your great info) as well as inspecting, cleaning contacts, looking for possible reasons for an electrical short - as many have found the fault codes almost always show loss of communication codes, but are unable to find the problem. This may not be the only reason this happens, but I’m fairly certain this is why it was happening to my daughter’s car. Please check the following on your car to see if it has the same thing: 1) Inspect Oil Pressure Sending Unit for oily residue on outside (I know, you’re saying “what? why?”) 2) Inspect Connectors to modules, lower PCM especially, but TCM and upper PCM too, for any brownish oil residue on connectors or on the modules themselves - where pins are and around inside edges of modules, right where the connectors attach. I believe what is happening, and bear with me…is that the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor begins to leak (fail)…and then oil from your engine is expelled under very light pressure out the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor …where it doesn’t fall below by gravity like you would expect…it travels like an alien species along the sensor wire and wire harness, even uphill, and around harness bends, until it makes its way to the module…in my case, the PCM. I believe it is the oil in the connectors making contact with the pins or the module itself to create an intermittent and temporary short, which makes you experience all the crazy Cobalt symptoms described above. I finally came across the solution after Googling “oil in PCM”, and found other people who found oil in their PCM…These cars were not Cobalts or even GM cars, which one would normally discount as not being applicable. But if you read their threads below, you will see that they maintain that oil can travel from a leaking Engine Oil Pressure Sensor or a leaking Power Steering sensor, along harness wires to reach the PCM…they have similar experiences with the their cars’ gauges going haywire and transmissions not working correctly. See these threads: Dodge Neon: Read Moderator Chris Barrett’s solution (he also noted it usually happens with weather proof (sealed) connectors..Maybe it is the suction created by the end connector seal to cause the oil to run along the wire: forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?t=245507 Dodge Durango: read Getpaidct solution (albeit due to Power Steering sensor, but must use same technology): dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-neon/299939-oil-liquid-in-pcm-connector.html Note: If your Engine Oil Pressure Sensor looks suspect and is oily, you may not yet notice any oil in the PCM module, connector area…I didn’t the first time I inspected it…I originally cleaned the connector and module/pins with CRC electrical contact cleaner spray, which seemed to help the problem go away for a few months. But the second time I inspected the connection, there was oil in there…I couldn’t figure out how oil was getting in there, as the contact spray should have completely evaporated, and it was just a wire harness ending with a plastic connector (with female connectors for pins) and the module, which was sealed in aluminum, with just copper pins sticking out of the module. TO FIX: disconnect positive and negative battery terminals. Replace leaking Engine Oil Pressure Sensor, located on the engine block, down low, facing the right center of the front bumper (car needs to be raised to gain access from below) . Remove PCM and TCM module connectors. Remove outer black plastic cover of connectors. Generously spray harness wires near connector and both sides of connectors, where wires go into connector and the outer female leads with Isopropyl alcohol, something to cut through and clean off the oil. Use compressed air to blow out any remaining alcohol from both sides of the connector. Also clean pins and connector area on modules the same way. When confident everything is completely dry, re-attach connectors to modules. Before connecting battery, touch both negative and positive battery leads together for at least 15 seconds, to clear any residual stored codes. Re-attach positive battery lead, then negative lead. Hopefully your Cobalt electric gremlin has been exorcised forever, like mine! If this is not the answer for your Cobalt troubles, check for possible wire breaks on the G105 ground bolted on the outer transmission, which is located on the top side of the transmission facing the front bumper. There was a moderator on CarGurus who found a stress break on his G105 grounded wires, which was causing the same symptoms and was resolved when the grounded wires were fixed appropriately. The picture of his ground did not include a larger ground strap, which my daughter’s car had, that looks original. My guess is that GM added the extra strap to the 2008 model, after finding the weakness or stress failure of the ground in the 2007 and earlier models. Some Cobalt owners have said their troubles were fixed after the dealer found a break in a wire underneath the car, and I’m guessing this is where it was, as I was not able to find any other possible wires to check, outside of the wires going through the firewall to the engine compartment. Also, one of the first things I did, and still have, was to ground the TCM to the car body left strut, like many people have recommended, although it didn’t solve my problems like it did for others. My daughter’s car also had the ignition recall fix, the power steering motor recall fix, and then we had the Power Steering module/column replaced, which the dealer said was the problem for all the above symptoms, but it fixed it for only a few days before returning. I spent a good 4 hours troubleshooting after it started acting up again and I finally got this solution!!

[@JordanZunti]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO!

[@spikedspike]

not a problem, sounds like this was same prob and answer for u?

[@JordanZunti]

spikedspike I have every issue you mentioned and when I inspected my connectors and wiring for issues, I saw residue on the connectors as well but I thought it was just some compound that keeps the pins from corrosion or something like that. But your explanation finally gave me the answer and I thank you very much for typing it all out! I'm gonna take my car to my uncle's shop and follow the steps you took to fix it. Hopefully it goes as planned, thanks again!

[@spikedspike]

cool...the oil pressure sensor looks easy to replace, and is not very expensive, if you can get the car up on a lift to replace it. i didn't have one, so i had to take it to a shop to have replaced...keep me informed, let me know if you're all good after you've gone thru everything! here's a link for replacing the oil pressure sensor on your cobalt www.autozone.com/repairguides/Cobalt-2006-2008-G5-2007/Engine-Mechanical-Components/Oil-Pressure-Sensor/_/P-0996b43f80cb173b

Thank you so much , I'm in Oklahoma and was having the same issue, this worked 100%. But I do have to say it didn't work until a diagnostic machine was hooked to my computer and reset it. So if you do this and you still have problems just reset the computer with a diagnostic machine. Good luck 😎👍🍺🍺🍺

[@mattcasdorph]

So the bad ground was causing the service Power Steering? My moms car was having an issue with power steering not kicking in the other day when starting up. My sister who drives it called me and said she was going to move the car and how the power steering wasn't working. I vaguely remember these were electric Power Steering and googled it. Came up there was a recall on those years ago because the EPS would cut out. I looked the vin up and it looks like the car was repaired so I'm not sure why the EPS did not kick in. I told her to start it again because she was sitting in the car parked outside a grocery store. She started it and it had it. She stopped and shut it off a few times after that and it was working. Idk if its going to be an intermittent problem starting to happen or what. Not sure if its the age and the EPS is failing or if its an electrical connection. It does have an oil leak and it gets nasty in that area so I wondered if it wasn't maybe oil on a connector or something. Im not entirely sure how likely that would be since most connectors have seals. I told her to keep an eye on it and if it happens again let me know and I'll look at it

[@georgebraggjr.4480]

Hey there! I have a 2010 Chevy cobalt and I’m currently having issues. 🙏🏼 is there any way you could help. I recently had a check engine code it was misfire cylinder 2 so I bought and replaced the first and second spark plugs. Same issue didn’t work. So then I changed out the coil plug in the second cylinder. Seemed to work and do fine for a bit. About two three weeks. And now it’s almost as if it’s not able to accelerate right on the Interstate, it’s almost like it’s trouble shifting rpm’s are not high and don’t rev up. Past speeds of 60mph+ begins to lack in power to accelerate. I feel as I’m burning through my “oil life” fast. Sometime coming to stops or at high speeds the steering seems almost loose-ish idk I’ve had many code in the past.

Jump starting these cars is what frequently causes this...... no clue why. I think it pulls a ground through the TCM.

The Cobalt doesnt use power steering fluid. It's an electronically controlled system, no actual pump, no fluid necessary, because there isn't a power steering fluid reservoir. There was/is a recall for the power steering "pump". Mine went out after I crossed the 40,000 mile mark and had it replaced under warranty. No issues since.
