How to resolve the prompt indicating increased steering effort required?
1 Answers
When encountering a situation where increased steering effort is required, replace the necessary software components based on the cause, such as the wheel speed sensor or the electric power steering system. Reasons for the prompt "Increased steering effort required": 1. Incorrect wheel speed sensor signal: For example, at higher speeds, the electric power steering system reduces steering assistance, requiring the driver to apply more steering force. 2. Mechanical failure in the electric power steering system: This refers to issues with the components of the electric power steering system, but repairs are rarely possible domestically, and the entire system usually needs replacement. 3. Fault triggered by auto start-stop: Firstly, auto start-stop places higher demands on the battery; otherwise, it can easily cause voltage instability, leading to program faults. On the other hand, turning the steering wheel while the engine is in start-stop mode can cause excessive voltage in the steering system, triggering steering protection and resulting in various electronic faults.
