What is the issue with fault code 65535?

Fault code 65535 indicates a malfunction in the electric power steering system, and replacing the electric power steering control module will resolve the issue. The Electric-Power-Steering (EPS) system is a power steering system that directly relies on an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque. Below are the reasons why a car's power steering failure may cause the steering wheel to become unresponsive: 1. Hydraulic power steering issue: Check if the power steering fluid is insufficient, ensure there are no oil leaks, and top up the fluid if it is below the normal range. If the fluid level is adequate, inspect whether the power pump belt is too loose; tighten the belt if necessary. Also, check if the oil is too dirty due to poor mobility, typically requiring replacement every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. 2. Electronic power steering issue: Check if the fuse is blown and whether there are any open or short circuits in the wiring. 3. Tire pressure issue: A flat tire can also cause the steering to feel heavy or unresponsive, requiring inflation.
