For DTC U3000:46, initially the PSCM will use a default steering assist and may set DTC U2100:00. If DTC U3000:46 returns on the next ignition cycle, then the PSCM will remove steering assist, enter into a manual mode and send a message to the instrument cluster to display the POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT message in the message center.
For DTC U3000:49, the presence of this DTC may or may not affect steering assist. It will depend on what other DTCs (if any) are set along with U3000:49. Diagnose all other DTCs before diagnosing U3000:49.
