Sorry, misunderstood, my knowledge is between the rack and steering wheel, sorry.

you talking about electronic steering system (eps) or steering rack?

Are they both TRW manufactured?

It would fit but there’s a security feature that stops you starting, also depends on tune that’s in the system as they are tuned to engine type.

Hey. Cause I could look. Your not too far. I live by Cofton Park. Not sure who sorted it but would image that only cleared the fault codes. Clearing fault codes does not fix the issue. Jason.

Happy to have a look, but do you feel safe driving it to Birmingham?

I don’t know. I know when you start messing with the BCM, cluster and EPS that are linked to NATs you do get some weird and wonderful results! throw the car on a trailer and come to Birmingham and I’ll rule out EPS.

Not sure then. Usually when the eps is stopping the cracking the NATs light comes on and stays on. the BCM, cluster and EPS are all paired, so removing one of these may cause you issues.

Is the NATs light on?

Yes. The eps can stop cracking. Where are you located?

The system checks on start up and if it monitors a failure then it will trip to stop the motor engagement. Usually this means there is an issue. Don’t forget these are safety critical components. I’ve sent you a DM aswell but it’s getting harder and harder to source these units for my other...

Abit far for a visit then. Usually the unit is very self contained and usually when the ps light is on, it's a failure with the unit. Little fiddly to replace but not hard. Depends how attached you are with the car? I would recommend a replacement but that's totally up to you. ?

Hey. I can try, where you located?

Have you checked the ishaft, that use to give that sort of feel. Look at my video, https://youtube.com/shorts/N2GDF9RsglU?feature=share there is a rubber coupling between the motor output and worm wheel, but if this broken I would expect failures as the sensor would turn without the...

Hey. This is weird, if it’s the TRW unit then there is a protection on the so if the torque sensor turns with out the motor turning aswell it causes a fault. So in that I’m mind, it maybe between the column and the gearbox. Usually there is a plastic moulding that helps the connection between...

I have dropped you a reply to your pm

Lol, not a quick visit then!! Usually the unit is very self contained and usually when the ps light is on, it's a failure with the unit. Little fiddly to replace but not hard. Depends how attached you are with the car? I would recommend a replacement but that's totally up to you. I wouldn’t...

Oh no! Where you located? Anywhere near Birmingham?

Yes, the MMJ Unit was also not Paired to the vehicle. Its not the EPS that decides this, all EPS has the functionality and is sitting there dormant if the BCM does not request it. Normally the PS light is very self sufficient to the EPS, either the EPS is sending the CAN message to illuminate...

Thank you James
