When the EPS light illuminates during startup, it indicates a system malfunction that has caused the system to shut down, resulting in the loss of power steering assistance. To ensure a more reliable solution, it is best to visit a professional repair shop or a 4S store for further inspection. Possible causes of EPS failure: Steering gear failure; Damage to the flow control valve or weak spring in the power steering pump; Leakage or insufficient power steering fluid; Steering column seizure, typically manifested as an inability to steer properly while driving; Loose or aged torque sensor pins; EPS control module failure. Symptoms of EPS failure: Steering becomes heavy; Unusual noises occur during steering; The steering wheel vibrates; The speed at which the steering wheel returns to center becomes relatively slower.
