Renault Modus 1.5dci - Power Steering Problem - csgmart

Got a "steering fault" message on the Modus today. Power steering no longer operational. Scanner code comes up with "106" which is an ECU fault apparantly. I've checked all fuses and they are fine. I've also disconnected the battery to see if that resets anything overnight. Any thoughts on what else it could be or how much to fix if I need a new steering column (with electric power steering motor)?

Just had the news I didn't want to hear - ECU has gone on power steering motor.

Better news I've found a Modus on Ebay which is being broken for parts so I've bagged the steering column. Garage [independent] will replace and recalibrate for me when it arrives so not too £££££.

All fixed now. £100 for a steering column and motor from a scrapped Modus on Ebay. Fitted and configured by a local independent for £170.00, so £270.00 all in. Could have been a lot worse.
