EPS Power steering column, what ACTUALLY goes wrong?

[cstuart1310]

Hi, I'm having a similar issue if anyone can advise how much a replacement EPS is/where to get one from since they're hard to source now please? I have a 2003 k12 Micra with no power steering and a red PS light on the dash. MOT is coming up so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, been a crazy few months and haven’t logged on here for a few months. My wife’s Nan was living with us as she was on End Of Life care and she has now sadly passed. This means my life is getting back to some sort of normality. Just catched up with many DMs I had. Will try and get on here more regularly but the EPS system is now so hard to source and very expensive due to that, it’s just not the economically viable to replace anymore on the older Nissan Micras. Unless you are very attached to the car,.. it maybe not worth it.

Hi Jason, sorry to hear. Could you drop me a pm. I have some questions related to EPS system. Thank you,

Yeah, at some point the eps will become a hard fault and you won’t be able to reset. Obviously it’s currently an intermittent fault. If you’re keeping the car it maybe worth changing. Otherwise the car is becoming more less economical to repair these days so maybe not worth it!
Let me know if you need an eps, I’ll be able to help you out so it’s a straight swap without getting the NATs issue, but I would advise to sort your engine light out first though.

Hi Jason. My name is Volodymyr, I am from Warsaw. I also have a Micra k12 with faulty power steering. Would you like to repair my module? If so, write your shipping address. I replaced the communication relay, cleaned the contacts in the engine relay. But it helped only for 30 km. Then error c1606 occurs again which cannot be reversed. I'm in despair, I don't know what to do next. The transistors are working. Write to me in PM or to [email protected]. Please help me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you..
