Steering Noise ?

Is it normal for one to hear a sound that, to me, sounds like a softened buzzing sound when cranking the steering wheel at slow driveway speeds...hard to exactly describe the sound but a soften or muzzled light buzzing sound is as best I can describe it.  Don't hear it at speed and it seems to be more prominent after a heavy exposure to driving in rain....so obviously moisture exasperates the issue...if it even is an issue as there is no effect on the feel of steering....2015 SHO non-PP

The EPAS system has been known to build up rust on the sensors, so a tech getting up underneath the SHO and cleaning/greasing the sensors might be all that's needed.  Take it in to the dealer.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

SHOdded is 100%correct,probably need some grease after the harsh elements of winter,had my fans squeaking upon shutoff after its first winter,best of luck.  Z

Mine started to do this very thing yesterday.  53k on it.

What's the process to DIY remedy the sensors?
