You can maybe wreck the Rack & Pinion in it.....But what'* telling you that the PS isn't working???? It'* a very simplistic system?

We don't know much about Malibus here, but Mike Chezzi (sse1990) who is a member here owns this:

I think that may be the site that can help you.

The reason why the Odometer is not working, is related to why the Trip isn't working. The "error" you see, means there is something not communicating. Either the VSS, or the ECM is not communicating to the DIC Module, to then display it. More than likely it is just a dead wire, going from the VSS to the ECM. You may want to check those out. Someone with your year will be better able to help with that.
