What causes the lack of power steering in Geely Free Cruiser?
1 Answers
The power steering in the Free Cruiser is electrically assisted, consisting of mechanical and electronic control components. If there is no power assistance, it indicates a failure in the EPS system. The first step is to determine whether it's a mechanical or electrical fault. Checks: 1. Generator not producing electricity: The electric power steering system is powered by the generator, not the battery. If confirmed, replace the generator. 2. Electric power steering motor system failure: This is the most obvious fault. The motor and control box are integrated; if faulty, there will be error codes. Replace the power steering control box. 3. Power supply fuse blown: This fuse transmits power from the generator to the steering gear. Located in the vehicle's fuse box, it is a large white high-power fuse. The position is marked on the box cover; simply unplug and replace it. Methods: The power steering wiring harness usually has an indicator light, typically hidden during installation. Refer to the manual to quickly identify the fault location and cause based on the blinking LED light—this is also the manufacturer's diagnostic method. The mechanical part may involve a damaged motor coupling, though other failures are rare. The electrical part requires checking the controller, which needs professional testing. Generally, it doesn't fail entirely, but certain components may malfunction, causing the controller to send a stop signal. Like a computer, it may need resetting. Additionally, check if the motor itself is faulty.
