Power steering EXCESSIVE with data log

Hey guys,

Took this screen from a recent log- the power steering thing is showing as excessive effort a lot!

I wonder if this relates to the grinding noise I hear when coasting occasionally?

On some models depending on tire size and gear box ratio are equipped with a power steering pressure switch to aid with idle up during lock to lock at low speeds/parking lots.
