Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
Common Faults
Electronic power steering, or EPS, is a newer power steering system that uses an electric motor instead of a hydraulic pump to assist with steering. EPS is more energy-efficient than traditional hydraulic power steering systems and provides drivers with a smoother and more precise steering experience. The system works by measuring the torque being applied to the steering wheel and using that data to adjust the amount of assistance the electric motor provides. This allows for more control and responsiveness while driving.

Power Steering Torque Sensor Failure
If you experience sudden stopping of your electronic power steering, along with an illuminated EPS warning light, it could be due to a power steering torque sensor failure. This is a serious issue that can create dangerous driving conditions. To diagnose the problem, a fault code relating to the EPS torque sensor failure will be present when scanned. Fortunately, VCUS can help rectify the issue and get your vehicle back on the road in a faultless condition. This will allow you to feel safe and secure behind the wheel once again. Get your EPS tested and rebuilt by simply filling out our test form today.
Electronic Power Steering Motor
If you're experiencing a lack of power steering and notice that the EPS warning light is illuminated, it's possible that your electronic steering motor has failed. You will have the fault codes for the Power Steering Motor stored inside the EPS control module. Fortunately, VCUS can repair this type of EPS failure. To get started with the repair process, simply fill out our test form today.
