What to Do When the Electric Power Steering Warning Light Comes On?
1 Answers
When the electric power steering warning light comes on, the owner needs to find a safe place to park the vehicle. The illumination of this warning light may indicate a fault in the vehicle's electric power steering system. There are three types of power steering systems in cars: electric power steering (EPS), electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS), and mechanical hydraulic power steering (MHPS). The electric power steering system provides steering assistance directly through an electric motor and does not have hydraulic components. Both electro-hydraulic and mechanical hydraulic power steering systems include hydraulic mechanisms, with the electro-hydraulic system adding electronic components to the mechanical hydraulic system.
