Symptoms

• Increased steering effort (especially at low speeds)
• Disappearance/appearance of the amplifier when the system warms up
• Dashboard warning message (if equipped)

Causes

• Steering system overload (holding the steering wheel in extreme positions for a long time)
• Dirty or faulty EPS module ventilation ducts
• Problems with the wiring harness or contacts (short circuit, frayed wires)

• Defective temperature sensor or EPS control module itself

How to Fix

1. Allow the system to cool (15-30 minutes) and check for the error to reappear
2. Visually inspect the EPS module for dirt/damage
3. Check the condition of the wiring harness and connectors
4. Perform a voltage/resistance test on the EPS temperature sensor circuit.
5. If necessary, replace the power steering module (calibration required)
