Possible causes:
- Faulty Power Steering Pressure Sensor
- Power Steering Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted
- Power Steering Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Change the fluid, check elec connections, re-set computer.
If code comes back, change the sensor.

Default Where is that sensor located?

Is it accessible ? Special tools/procedure or just plug and play?
