There is very little to do on a closed system.
No lube, no adjustment.
The computer controls an electric motor that in turn operates the rack and pinion.
There are sensors that keep track of performance and report issues.

I talked to Brandon about it before he went. He pretty much agreed with Bluegrass on this.

Just top off the blinker fluid, which also serves the steering system on F150s.

Yea but what he didn't tell you is....you have to use the red blinker fluid (Ford only) All other colours for the other trucks will just slow you down !!
