You will need the proper gauge kit first.
With the engine stopped install the pressure gauge with the shutoff valve in the open position.
Start and idle the engine with the valve in the open position. Turn the wheel left and right several times to release any air bubbles and bring the fluid to normal operating temperature.
With the gauge connected, close the shutoff valve for 5 seconds and compare with manufacturers specifications.

What could cause the power steering to go out on a Saturn Vue 2003?
Well, have you actually done any sort of diagnosis? If there's no fluid leak visible, and there's fluid in the reservoir, then you have either a faulty power steering pump or gearbox. So then you disconnect the line from the pump to the gearbox and run a pressure test on it.. if that checks out, then it's probably your gearbox.
