You will see a black canister with a cap on it that says CHF 11S on it that is your steering fluid reservoir and that CHF 11S (which is normally green in colour) is the only type of fluid you can put in there, do not put standard power steering fluid in (Red in colour) as this will result in the system not working properly.

Check for voltage and ground at the sensor plug. If you have it, then you have an internal problem.

My 2001 bmw 325 cic started making an awful grinding noise today when moving the steering wheel at all to the left or right. Can also hear the noise under the hood.

It sounds like your car is low on power steering fluid. When the power steering fluid is low, the power steering pump is running dry, which makes a grinding or moaning sound. Check the power steering fluid level and top up if necessary. It should be on the left side of the engine compartment. Your owners manual should have the exact location of the power steering reservoir, and what type of power steering fluid to use.
Good luck

Dexron III ATF is what BMW called for in the power steering pump in these models. However, GM no longer makes a type-III ATF!

Nice thing about GM Dexron specifications is that any higher numbered fluid meets the requirements of previous, lower numbered fluids. What does this mean? Siphon out as much as the old junk as you can. Refill with Dexron III and if you cannot find that? A common on the shelf *upgraded* synthetic fluid can be found in Dexron VI that more than adequately surpasses previous Dex-III specifications. So use with confidence! Pour and forget...

Use only a Dexron-III Automatic Transmission Fluid to top off the power steering reservoir. BMW uses ATF instead of power steering fluid.

Where is the fill/dipstick for power steering fluid in a 85 bmw

if I remember correctly it is located under the hood on the drivers side near the firewall. the resevoir is metal. The top to the resevoir may be secured with a nut. remove the nut and the cap. you might see a screen if it is still there. before adding fluid, step on the brake pedal about 10 times with the engine not running. then you can add fluid. your car should use ATF for the p/s fluid.
