What does it mean when the vehicle displays EPS?
1 Answers
If the EPS warning light flashes on the dashboard, it indicates that the vehicle's Electric Power Steering system may have a malfunction. When the EPS warning light is flashing, it is recommended to stop driving and have the vehicle inspected at a repair shop or 4S store. A failure in the Electric Power Steering system may result in the loss of power steering assistance, causing the steering wheel to suddenly become heavy. In emergency situations where quick maneuvering is required, the consequences could be severe. Below is an introduction to the vehicle's power steering system: 1. Vehicle power steering systems are generally either electric or hydraulic. Electric power steering is achieved through an electric motor. Hydraulic power steering systems have a hydraulic fluid reservoir in the engine compartment and a power steering pump. The power steering pump is connected to the engine via a belt. If the belt breaks or the power steering pump is damaged, the power steering function may be lost, making the steering wheel very heavy. 2. The vehicle's power steering system is a commonly used system in daily driving. A malfunction in the power steering system can make the vehicle difficult to control. During routine maintenance, it is important to regularly check whether the power steering system is functioning properly and whether there are any fault codes.
