What does it mean when the EPS light comes on?
1 Answers
When the EPS light comes on, it indicates a fault in the Electric Power Steering system. The causes of Electric Power Steering system failure may include: 1. Damage to the steering system sensor; 2. Malfunction of the steering system motor; 3. Insufficient or leaking power steering fluid. If the EPS light illuminates, it is important to promptly visit a nearby 4S shop for repair, as damage to the EPS system can affect the vehicle's steering and interfere with normal driving. The Electric Power Steering system provides steering assistance directly through an electric motor, eliminating the need for components such as the power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and engine-mounted pulley found in hydraulic power steering systems. This not only saves energy but also benefits the environment. The Electric Power Steering system features simple adjustment, flexible assembly, and the ability to provide steering assistance under various conditions.
