Indeed it took me quite a while to figure out that my power steering must be electrical. NV200 2014. But also because the power steering feels different from an hydraulic one. Thanks for the explanation HOWSTUFFINMYCARWORKS!
I had a 2013 Explorer towed in today, the rack is locked! Can't budge the wheel. We are waiting for a tow truck to get it in tomorrow. Have you ever seen this? I want to get it on the lift and see, but I can't imaging anything holding with this force! This video rock's, thank you.
I Like the way you explain in detail. I have a question. Why does my steering at times get hard to turn and censor light comes with ! symbol on at the dash on my 2019 Camry LE. It's done it twice each for the pass 3 days. Thank you
Thank you so much for the detailed video with visual. I recently had a plastic stool come under my 2014 honda crv and after which the steering has a loose feeling. I have to also turn it quiet a bit for turning the wheels. Do you think it could be the torgue sensor in the rack pinion or something loose in the steering column assembly? ...thanks for your help in advance
Hey, very informative video, I have a 2011 Acura TSX with electronic power steering issue were the power steering stops working randomly and then starts working after several hours. Also, the steering wheel sometimes rotates by itself, what could be the issues in your opinion considering the parts you discussed in this video thanks.
Good night I have this code I need help Permanent DTC 51-1 Lower FET stuck ON 2012 Acura TSX I change my Acura 39980-TL2-A05 Power Steering Control Module. And no fix. I need help
Very interesting and very well explained video. I have a question and I hope you can answer me. Is it possible that the power steering fluid is leaking through the rack?
The reason I'm watching this video is because my ES is acting up - 2019 Toyota Yaris. I also noticed how unsable it was going down the freeway at speeds, now it resisters an undervolt and I've changed the battery too
I have a 2014 Ford Focus EV with 56k, that just recently went to "armstrong steering " with a message on the instrument area with power steering assist fault. Located fuse, found ok, looked under vehicle, nothing out of the ordinary. After watching some RUclips videos, apparently the various Ford products are prone with this problem . Checked for any recalls on this and came up empty handed. What's my next go-to plan?
I have a 2014 Smart Fortwo I bought for my youngest daughter. Why is my steering hard and even harder when it almost done with the turn. It returns by itself so I don’t think it’s the dampner. Do those units have any lubricants like grease? I have a 2008 Smart Fortwo and that one turns softly on a dime with no issues. Anyone help
What was wrong with the old hydraulic pump system . ??? Been workin great for me for the past 30 yrs. ohh i know . Because it was to reliable . Can't make money on shit that's simple and doesn't break . duhaaa ..
I replaced the servo pump today. but it happens when I start the car, the pump works for 5 seconds and stops working. and so constantly when I start the car it works for 5 seconds and stops. Does anyone know what's going on?
I have a 2010 Acura TL "tech package". Ive changed the entire rack and pinion twice.. Both times it had water in the motor.. WTH.. how and why. I have a "motor angle sensor" issue again and I think it's probably the motor rusting with water. How so.. :( Any suggestions?
I have a 2021 Honda Pioneer 1000-3 UTV and my EPS Warning Light came on while I was driving it. Immediately, the Steering went from Power Assist to the feel of Manual Steering. Does anyone here know what I need to do to diagnose it rather than spend $195.00 at my Powersports Dealer just to hook up their machine which may not happen for another 2-3 weeks due to Seasonal Back Log. Please HELP ME... I need my Pioneer to work my property.
That's impossible to do, you can go to the dealer and complain and they might re-program it if Honda Motor Corp. has given that ability and it's the same for all companies, Corvette and Mustang the company put it on the dash so the driver can do it himself (choose hard /soft), some early models like in the 80' we use to change the prom for customer who had a complain i.e. the car it's shifting too quick, the new prom essentially is a new program we remove the old program (prom) and we put the new program, on more modern cars they download the new program directly into ECU etc. provided that there was enough complaint and the company has decides to do some changes, but as a mechanic I have never seen from any company to let a mechanic to actually go inside the program and start modifying a program, those are top secrets and only handful of people have access to the program in the entire General Motor corporation and usually those are computer program writer. imagine if you have access, you can make the car never pop-up check engine light, change timing curve so you can have more power. some program Edelbrock is programmable buy the driver but it's not actually programing it's actually Edelbrock gave access to change some values, you cannot go inside Edelbrock program you can only go where they allow you to go and change values, no body gives access to the program.
Probably because that pump uses horsepower and therefore less fuel economy. There is also less room in the engine compartment of newer vehicles, let’s not forget electric steering is not only more precise but the steering can adjust to various driving habits and road conditions. Let’s not forget that you can’t have lane assist without electronic steering.

That diagram is legit!
Thank you!!

i appreciate the efforts done by you, sir
I really liked the way of the diagram and the way I explain it will help me a lot, I have the same problem
Your right i had my durango for a year and half and was looking for the PS fluid never heard of electric PW
One thing you missed is I think to turn the morter you need to have a signal.Where is that signal comming from?PCM or Steering angle sensor.
🎉 great job,!!!

After watching your video on Mercedes E550 electric power steering. How do I test each piece to determine which is bad?

Have the same issue did you find the issue ?
Great video, my 2016 impreza turns left too easy, turning right feels ok, imitating very bad alignment, your thoughts?
Good night I have this code I need help Permanent DTC 51-1 Lower FET stuck ON 2012 Acura TSX I change my Acura 39980-TL2-A05 Power Steering
Control Module. And no fix. I need help
I have a 2016 charger, I can't move the steering wheel, it's very hard
Very interesting and very well explained video. I have a question and I hope you can answer me. Is it possible that the power steering fluid is leaking through the rack?
It’s electric
Yes, bud. It was new to me also. Most of newer cars don't use fluid. They are now electronic EPS electric power steering.
The reason I'm watching this video is because my ES is acting up - 2019 Toyota Yaris.
I also noticed how unsable it was going down the freeway at speeds, now it resisters an undervolt and I've changed the battery too
What causes the electric power steering pump to continue whinning or running even if the ignition is switched off? This is for mini cooper s r53

Ahahah
That's the reason I'm watching this video 😂
So if my 2021 Durango gives me a message that says unstable power steering. What is the fix
Dealer or dyi
If the steering Angel sensor is bad,will the EPS stop working ???
Steering wheel hard to manupulate , I changed it , but it's still hard , what the solution if you can answer me , thank you
Is there a fluid inside the steering motor?
I replaced the servo pump today. but it happens when I start the car, the pump works for 5 seconds and stops working. and so constantly when I start the car it works for 5 seconds and stops. Does anyone know what's going on?
This system helped save my life all glory to the almighty
You obviously work for the electric power steering module company…because this can kill you it’s so stupid

Why we need eps lamp in instrumental cluster
Yea real good crapy system. that power steering motor fail on my GM vehicle
it only cost 4,800 to fix. never get a vehicle with that nonesense.
Gm my lights is on, the steering wheel with! What can bee the problem!!???
Why is the electric steering turning hard ? “ i can hear crack noise
Does this have anything to do with air bags ?
I was asking same thing bro
I have a question if you could answer?
Is there fluid in the Toyota electronic power steering? (Prius C 2018)
If you can`t find the filler cap, there is not.
But I can`t tell for this specific model, the instruction book has the answer.

How do you make the power assist more assist so making it easier to steer and more sensitive?
That's impossible to do, you can go to the dealer and complain and they might re-program it if Honda Motor Corp. has given that ability and it's the same for all companies, Corvette and Mustang the company put it on the dash so the driver can do it himself (choose hard /soft), some early models like in the 80' we use to change the prom for customer who had a complain i.e. the car it's shifting too quick, the new prom essentially is a new program we remove the old program (prom) and we put the new program, on more modern cars they download the new program directly into ECU etc. provided that there was enough complaint and the company has decides to do some changes, but as a mechanic I have never seen from any company to let a mechanic to actually go inside the program and start modifying a program, those are top secrets and only handful of people have access to the program in the entire General Motor corporation and usually those are computer program writer. imagine if you have access, you can make the car never pop-up check engine light, change timing curve so you can have more power. some program Edelbrock is programmable buy the driver but it's not actually programing it's actually Edelbrock gave access to change some values, you cannot go inside Edelbrock program you can only go where they allow you to go and change values, no body gives access to the program.
That y im watching
Why didn’t they just stick to an pump off the engine ? Let’s try & re invent the wheel .. ridiculous
Probably because that pump uses horsepower and therefore less fuel economy. There is also less room in the engine compartment of newer vehicles, let’s not forget electric steering is not only more precise but the steering can adjust to various driving habits and road conditions. Let’s not forget that you can’t have lane assist without electronic steering.
What makes a car with eps to turn hard
Possibly a torque position sensor.
Long story short why so much shit instead going or using old school steering system. Japanese olds saying if is working properly leave it alone.
We like hydraulic steering.
