Where is the fuse for the Corolla's electric power steering located?
2 Answers
Corolla's electric power steering fuse is located inside the storage compartment below the steering wheel on the left side. You need to remove the storage compartment to see it. Introduction to Electric Power Steering System: The electric power steering system directly relies on the motor to provide auxiliary torque. The power steering system is driven by an electric motor and is equipped with an electronic control system, making the steering assist force not only related to the steering angle but also to the vehicle speed to some extent. Method to locate the electric power steering fuse: Open the engine compartment, find the rectangular black box in front of the battery. The fuse marked with a PS sign inside is the electric power steering fuse.
I've been driving and repairing cars for over a decade. The Corolla's electric power steering fuse is commonly found in the engine compartment fuse box, usually the large one labeled 'EPS', likely around 30A. It's located under the hood near the battery or firewall - just open the fuse box cover to see the diagram label indicating the power steering fuse. Why there? Because it needs to protect critical circuit safety - when blown, steering becomes extremely heavy affecting control, requiring immediate replacement. Before DIY, turn off power to avoid short circuits; using fuse pullers makes operation easier. The Corolla manual has detailed pages, or search online for 'Corolla EPS fuse location' images if no manual. Remember, regular checks can prevent accidents and save lots of repair hassle.
