WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PSCM uses the motor inside the EPAS gear to calculate the angle and rotation of the steering wheel and transmits this information to other modules over the HS-CAN.
When this DTC is set, the PSCM removes steering assist, enters into manual mode and transmits an invalid steering angle message over the HS-CAN. The module also sends a message to the IPC to display POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT in the message center.
