2015 jetta se electric steering. Power steering light comes on red blinking and car will not start. Any suggestion?

Looks like you loosing coolant somewhere. Check oil if is not looking milky. If not, you are lucky. Head gasket should be ok. Fill system with coolant. Put some cardboard under the car and run it on idle. Check where leak comes from. If car is dry under then check for wet carpet under dashboard. If carpet is wet then heater core or hoses have a leak

check fuses and relays have vehicle scanned for the code look under dash and check connections to electric assist motor

You can't start the car due to a safety system lockout, you can't bypass that. Have the testing done. Isn't this under warranty?

this is the Electric Power Steering light , would be indicating a problem , does the steering feel heavy ?if not have the OBD codes read and any stored code cleared ,this may resolve the light staying on , if the steering feels ok it might have set the light off after going over a large bump for example, if the light comes back on then take to a repair shop as you dont want the steering to fail when driving

lok att the level on the power stering fluid its probabli tho low

You have a alternator going out if you get the car going pull the + cable off if the car dies right away the alternator is bad . (Ase) cert auto tech

Hmm, Your vehicle does not have a typical hydraulic power steering system, instead it has a electric actuator that assists the steering.

Get your vehicle (VAG-COM) scan for codes and post the VW fault codes or do a forum search once you have the fault codes.


You may possibly see the following codes:

• 01309 - Power Steering Control Module (J500)
  
• 004 - No Signal/Communication - Intermittent
  

The steering light will be only two colors, yellow or red (in your case yellow):

Yellow means there is an issue with the system and it will run at reduced voltage when it can but you will still have assist.


Red means there is a serious issue were the system can not give you assist and you should not attempt to drive it like this.


The yellow light can be cause by many things, but most common is a low battery. When the battery voltage drops below 11.7v or so, the system stores a DTC and illuminates the icon to inform you there is an issue with the system and it may work at reduced assist. Since this system is so heavily dependent on a good charging system and battery.



Again I suggest drop by your local dealer and have them scan the Steering Module to see why the light is on.

Power Steering light coming on,it can be due to error code stored in ecu.The vehicle needs to be scanned.

This problem is related to the Electro mechanical power Steering Assistent. They have no steering fluid pump, instead, they have electric motors to assist. You need to bring it to the dear so they can scan the problem. I own a 07 jetta, and same thing happen till the dealer fund a bad angle sensor. good luck

the motor could have gone bad that turns the tires
