Re: Power Steering over heating or ecu fault code C163A
My advice is to go somewhere else for your tracking - it's not unknown for tracking equipment (even modern laser trackers) to fail if not calibrated regularly. This happened to me and it destroyed 2 new tyres within 6 weeks or so. They shut it down afterwards until it could be investigated. In your case it could mean that the over-heating is being caused by the power steering constantly trying to counteract a tracking misalignment / incorrect adjustment, so it is being over-worked and then overheating....
