Winner power steering failure

Power steering issues on my 2000 Nissan Winner, diesel engine, with 128043 km. Steering wheel vibrates, handling feels spongy, and there's an error code. Steering is much harder; I think it's a bad cable or plug.

Summary of the thread

Initial checks showed no fluid or hose issues, suggesting a potential electrical fault. The problem was traced to a bad plug connection, which was replaced, resolving the power steering failure.

Those symptoms sound like power steering problems. Did you check the hydraulic fluid level? Low fluid makes the pump cavitate, causing vibrations and less assistance. Check the pressure hose for leaks. The pump itself could be failing.

Fluid level is fine. I checked the pressure hose and see no leaks. Any other ideas?

Since the fluid is good and the hose seems okay, it could be that cable or plug like you thought. That error code matters. Electrical faults in the steering column or rack are possible. A mechanic should check the electrical system to find the error.

Took it to a shop. It was a bad plug connection, like I suspected. They replaced it, and the power steering works. Cost 95€.
