Sorry but your not going to get it fxed fast ! Your vehicle has Electric Power Steering (EPS) , an electronic control module makes it work . If this module is bad an need's replacing your going to have to take it to a GM dealer to have it replaced an programmed .
The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, power steering motor rotational sensor, power steering motor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, and the GMLAN serial data circuit to perform the system functions. The PSCM and power steering motor are each serviced separately from the steering column assembly. However, the motor rotational sensor is serviced as part of the power steering motor, and the torque sensor is serviced as part of the steering column assembly. The PSCM also monitors vehicle speed from the engine control module (ECM) via the GMLAN serial data circuit. At low speeds more assist is provided for easy turning during parking maneuvers. At higher speeds less assist is provided for improved road feel and directional stability.
Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's stored , need a professional scan tool to see these code's .
hi Jo,the power steering is powered by the fanbelt and if its slipping will cause it to go heavy but a light would come up on the dash to tell you the alternator was not charging.so if not the belt,it could be the electrics for the pwr steering need looking into,this is easier to get on the dealers diagnostic computer which will show up the exact fault.and would save any guesswork.
The Solenoid fitted on the Steering Rack is not getting the command from The Body Control Unit. Kindly Replace your BCM and then your problem is solved. You can try to make sure by giving direct current of 12v to the solenoid and check the Steering. if it works then simply change the BCM as it's not giving d command to the Solenoid.

The electric power steering is integral to the steering column. Their are no serviceable parts on this column. I work at a gm dealership and have had to replace many of these columns due to issues. The column itself is around 800 dollars, and unless you are a very experienced technician with all of the tools and an ability to reprogram the theft system after replacement you will need to take it to a dealer. By the way. What kind of problem are you having with your steering??
That's the power steering pressure switch and it is very easy to replace. I don't know how much the part is, but it cant be very much. It's a very simple switch. I'd just replace it.
