Kubota g2160 power steering.

Hi, I have a Kubota G2160 and the power steering has stopped working. I have stripped most of it down and discovered the control box has an LED flashing 1 long and 3 short. I asume this is a fault code.
Does anyone know what 1 long and 3 short flashes mean, it does it from when the ignition is switched on and with the engine running and won't stop untill switched off?
I have tested the motor and it works fine. There is a sensor but I can't remove it its stuck in the steering coloumn.
I have a parts manual and the whole steering column has to be replaced, individual parts aren't available. I have a feeling this is going to be expensive.

Has anyone had this before?
Thanks,
Niguk68.

Update,
I got some good help from a dealer today and it didn't cost a penny. The problem may be that we fitted a new ball joint a few weeks ago between the steering rack and the front axle. After this you should re calibrate the steering because if you are out by a small amount the control box trows a wobbly.
The dealer faxed me through, firstly how to re set the control box and then re calibrate the steering. Once I did it it started working fine.
If anyone wants the proceedure send me a message and I will forward it. No special tools required but you have to remove the plastic cover that covers the steering and control box.
