What causes the EPS light to come on and the steering to intermittently become heavy?
1 Answers
The reasons for the EPS light coming on and the steering intermittently becoming heavy are as follows: 1. Protection mode: The illumination of the EPS warning light indicates a failure protection mode in the electric power steering system, during which heavy steering is normal. To troubleshoot this issue, it is recommended to visit a repair shop for data stream detection of the electric power steering control unit. Analysis and repair should be based on the frozen fault codes in the control unit. If the electric power steering system signals are inaccurate or the sensors are malfunctioning, the above phenomenon may occur. 2. Battery depletion: The system may also fail to operate. If you sometimes feel the battery is weak when starting the engine and the EPS light comes on, it may indicate a battery issue. If the battery is ruled out, first check the two steering angle sensors of the EPS system.
