Default Power steering locking up!

Twice now I've been driving my 2003 Z06 and had an issue were I lose power steering. The second time this happened I just got it in 1st and noticed my steering went out again. I was pulling off into a street to shut the car off and noticed my coolant temps were high also. I pulled over and steering came back and coolant temps went down FAST. I feel like my belt locked up. What could cause this? Power steering is full, coolant is full. It said service vehicle soon and then went away once the steering came back and coolant temps went down

If the belt was locked up there would also have been a voltage alarm.

Have you read the codes yet?
If not, post them back here.
