MS Power steering problem

Hi guys just wanted to ask a someone if they could please help diagnose this problem for me before I take my car to Mazda. The power steering light is on and there is no assisted steering so I cleaned all the connectors with the cleaning agent, visually inspected the eps, and even put power directly to the power steering motor. When I put the power to the motor directly the motor moved the wheels back and forth. I even hooked up my computer to my car but it didn't give me any codes besides P2259. Is there a special way to ready the codes from the eps? What do yall think the problem is?

This issue have been discussed numerous times. Use the SEARCH option and this forum will be your friend.

Hint: DIY: Power Steering Connector Cleaning with pics. P2259 is your solenoid, clean the terminal or replace it with a new one. Again, just SEARCH!
