What does it mean when the EPS light is on in the car?

EPS stands for Electronic Power Steering in English. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. It uses the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in power steering. 2. The composition of EPS, although the structural components may vary between different vehicles, is generally similar. It typically consists of a torque (steering) sensor, electronic control unit, motor, reducer, mechanical steering gear, and battery power source. 3. When the car is in motion, it is subjected to lateral and longitudinal forces. If the lateral force is too great, the steering force can be significantly reduced, making it easy to lose control. EPS improves this by allowing the electronic power steering system to independently brake each wheel and participate in the management of the engine system based on CPU calculations when the vehicle shows signs of instability, ensuring driving safety.
