Here's how to maintain automotive electrical systems with inspection and correct battery replacement. This video is sponsored by Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper. #EPSproblems
Our eps all of sudden broke, this is going to be Really Expensive for our Mistubishi Colt Plus car if it's not just a simple light because its hard to steeeeeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!! Sometimes oldskool pouring power steering fluid works *BEST*
Yeah it can it’s happened in two vehicles I had both with eps, the first was a 2013 Honda accord and the pos connect came loose and everything shut off and ps was stiff as a brick; with the project car a 08 Pontiac g6 its just a weak battery but I drove all the way to back Ohio from Michigan with the battery light on the eps only started acting an ass right around the corner from my house
@CptKushBerry did you replace the battery and did that resolve the eps issue for you? My steering got stiff this morning not lights went but after a couple minutes got the battery light flashing. It's 2010 corolla btw
Hello! I have had this problem with my 2018 Corolla, while replacing the inner tie rod I let the car key in without making the car running which made my car battery go bad. After this and jumping the car my eps started acting up, I thought it was the inner tie rod procedure but I was having troubles cranking and starting the vehicle, I took it to autozone and the battery voltage was around 10.52V. Now with the new battery i am not getting the red steering wheel alert in my dashboard or suddenly getting stiff steering for seconds which is a road hazard. Great video!
Thanks for the comment. I was searching if I could run into issues with a weak battery and EPS. My problem is different as my alternator is shorted so I disconnected it. I figure I need the battery to last just long enough to get to the shop for replacement. I have a fresh battery installed so I think I can make it 10 miles without my voltage dropping as low as yours before I get there.
@@SirD31V1D sure will do. I’ll make an appointment Monday. I was debating replacing the alternator myself but it’d prob take all day haha. And I don’t have much time.
@@SirD31V1D After talking with the shop, they suggested I tow it in. That was probably a good idea than risk getting stranded and kill another good battery. My car was at home and it took about an hour to pick it up and drop it off 10 miles away at the shop. It would sucked to be stuck on the side of the road for an hour. I got my alternator replaced with a OEM remanufactured unit and everything seems back to normal. One note, is the slightly burn smell exactly I was smelling before with the old alternator. I suspect it's just some oils or the new alternator break in. After about a week, I can hardly smell anything.
Nice video! Hey I am working on a dodge Durango 2018 the Eps stopped working and car ran shortly after the car wouldn’t turn on. I disconnected the wire that runs with can and power wire from fuse box and car runs again. Was wondering what you think it might be car runs everything works if that wire is disconnect, the moment I connect the car goes haywire wipers start going off car won’t turn on every light lights up like a Christmas tree and I end up with every possible code that vehicle can have. I attempted to isolate the wire that runs from fuse box solely to give the electric motor power but no luck. Any thoughts?
