Put the old trans module back in and check the large power feed wire at the fuse box on the center consul on the passenger side of the shifter consul,this is a known problem for having a poor electrical connector and will cause this problem. Wiggle this wire and you most likely will hear a relay click and the power steering message go out.
I'LL give it a try the only thing is when i buaght the new T.C.M I had to give them the old one!

Try a global reset. Remove both battery cables and hold them together for 5-10 minutes. Hook back up and see if that takes care of the issue.

The replacement of the steering column assembly will require a setup procedure for complete repair. This is done via a tech 2 scanner. A good dealer technician should know this.
Eletronic Power Steering (EPS) is one of the latest ideas to eliminate the fluid type power steering systems. It eliminates the power steering pump thus adding miles per gallon.

If you read and google you will find over 200 more complaints. This is an issue only GM/Chevy can fix. Report it to www.safercar.gov and the Department of Consumer Affairs. I have been battling this issue for 2 months.
