Power steering computer questions

I've been looking for information on the FC's active power steering (I drive an 88 GXL, and I hate the PS) but all I could really find was Low Impedance's FC FAQs (http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...ead.php?t=4032)

I have 2 main questions:

1. When there is an Error "The power steering computer uses a series of 'beeps' to communicate." Are these audible beeps? Or are they being read off of some LEDs? I notice a few beeps (maybe just one, I'm not sure) when I turn my car off (sometimes, not always) but I thought it was the alarm acting stupid.

2. Is there a way to keep the power steering on "high speed mode" or whatever you would like to call it? To try and simulate a manual rack. I ask because too often I feel my steering tighten then loosen in the middle of a turn and its very annoying and unpredictable.

I'm extremely interested in the way my power steering works, any info or pictures would be helpful.
