I've been driving for many years and know quite a bit about the EPS light. On the Changan CX20, EPS stands for Electric Power Steering system. When the EPS light on the dashboard comes on, it basically tells you there's a fault in the steering system, which could be caused by sensor false alarms, circuit short circuits, or motor failure leading to loss of power assistance. The steering wheel will suddenly become heavy, requiring more effort to turn, making driving particularly tiring on highways or in congested areas. I must remind you to pull over immediately and avoid forcing the drive; try turning off the engine and restarting to see if the light goes off. If it doesn't, contact a repair shop. Regular maintenance checks on steering components and periodic dust cleaning to prevent oxidation can greatly reduce such issues.
