From there, they disconnected the steering module harness, reconnected it, and could not get the fault to reappear.
In total, they had the car for a about an hour and a half and charged me $80 for the diagnostics time. Oh well. Kicking myself for not getting into the dash myself and checking for loose connections, but I've been busy, and my driveway is a cold place to hang out at the moment.
Could have been worse. A new steering module would have been $629.
So, for anyone else experiencing this and comes across this thread: if you're handy, you might try poking around under the dash, looking for loose wire harness connections in the vicinity of the steering column. Might save yourself $80.

The power steering warning popped up today. I did not experience any power steering loss. I came home and parked it but there was a burn smell.
Was there a burn smell?
Will check the fuse box tomorrow but will need to drive it to closest dealership. Do you have a pic of the loose connector?
In searching I did notice the recalls in Australia. Will need to read in more detail.
Update:
Turns out its the brake light switch that went out. Got the ABS and traction control lights on when I drive.
Replacing the switch should fix it.
