Yes, most likely. I noticed this with my F150, but it was only doing it when the engine was higher than idle. Take off (after removing battery connector) and have it tested. Most stores do it for free. If your nearest store charges, so somewhere else because they are going to be too expensive.

When the battery dies and the engine shuts down, the power steering will stop working. I would have the battery tested first, if the battery tests ok, then the cause may be the alternator is not charging the battery causing the vehicle to run on what charge is left in the battery till it dies. I would have both of those checked out by your local Auto Zone, or local Auto parts store, usually they will do this free of charge.

Hope this helps...

P1745 - Transmission system problems.The code for this concern is related to the EPC solenoid in the transaxle. P1745 EPC EPC solenoid circuit failure EPC solenoid, circuit or PCM shorted or open.
