Does the EPS light affect driving?
1 Answers
EPS light on indicates that the vehicle's electronic power steering system has malfunctioned. At this time, you should stop the car as soon as possible under safe conditions, call for help from a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop, and preferably have the car towed away. When the EPS light is on, it is usually accompanied by the following symptoms: heavy steering wheel, poor steering wheel return ability, abnormal steering noise, steering wheel shaking, etc. The full English name of EPS is Electronic-Power-Steering, which is electronic power steering. Extended information: 1. EPS composition: It uses the power generated by the motor to assist the driver in power steering. The composition of EPS is similar for different vehicles, although the structural components may vary. Generally, it consists of a torque (steering) sensor, electronic control unit, motor, reducer, mechanical steering gear, and battery power source. 2. EPS uniqueness: When the car is driving, it is subjected to lateral and longitudinal forces. When the lateral force is too large, the control force is greatly reduced, making it easy to lose control. ESP improves this point. When the vehicle shows an unstable trend, based on CPU calculations, the electronic power steering system can independently brake each wheel and participate in the management of the engine system to ensure driving safety.
