The "Check Power Steering Assist" warning in a 2002 V8 Lincoln Continental typically indicates an issue with the power steering system, which could be due to low fluid levels, a failing power steering pump, or a malfunctioning steering rack. It could also be related to electrical problems, such as a faulty sensor or wiring issue. It's important to address this warning promptly, as it can affect vehicle handling and safety. A thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended to diagnose and resolve the problem.
