bro!! be extremely careful when that EPS light comes on!! Im in Canada and had a 2007 fg2 exactly like yours. I had a transmission swap and a new clutch installed and 300kms(186miles) later that light came on while i was driving. i parked tried resetting the battery and the light stayed on. so i left to drive home and 5 minutes later my EPS went again(loss ppwer assist like you did) and the steering wheel jammed all the way to the right flew right out of my hands doing 30mph and head on into a tree. total loss. found out when you take the rack out to drop the transmission when you reinstall the rack you need to recalibrate your torque/speed sensors. one in your steering wheel and one of the rack and pinion itself. also the EPS motor reads information from all sensors such as ABS, wheel speed etc. so check all those sensors as well. ive been watching your channel since day one, and in the past 3 months youve helped me so much fixing my second 07 FG2. figured id give you a tid bit of my experience on this situation. if it comes back on park it bro and get a tow! Be safe 🤙🤘

I think the grease (3:24) is to prevent rust. The fuse box contacts scratch through the film of dielectric grease to make a conductive path.

This happened to my friend’s brz 2 days as well dude ! Out of no where he can start his car but his power steering is locked so is his windows as well. He can still start the car and put it in gears tho, we have no clue what was going on. We even tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it, yet it still didnt work. At the end we got it towed to the dealer. Anyways happy memorial day

Glad u ok drive safe. Honda way!

I just fixed 2016 Honda Civic with steering wheel light on. A problem was that you have to have a car to lean when it's steering wheel in straight position. But you have to have a better scanner than this.

I’ve got a 73 TR6 with rack and pinion and a 2010 si with power steering it’s much more comfortable but people didn’t have power steering for years... just gotta use your big boy muscles

The electric steering goes out in a lot of them . I have a 2014 Honda Accord and I have to disconnect the battery and let it sit overnight to reset itself then it will start turning. So if you google it you will see there’s hundreds of complaints about it and Honda will not do a recall!!!!! So dangerous to be driving on the interstate and loose steering. I think we need to hire a attorney and do something about it!!!

I have a 2012 Honda civic LX.. I removed the steering column to get at the ignition assembly and remove it from the column. I replaced it and got my new assembly keyed to my old keys to work and avoided programming the new keys to the old chip reader. Well it works and runs now but now I have the VSA light and power steering system lights on. Can you help???

Bruhhh this is a common problem with these Si’s mines did the same shit about 3months now without PS but iam so use to it now it’s like nothing lol I’ll be waiting on the video where you get it fixed tho

Oh wow crazy bro glad you got to ur destination safe. That rain driving was cool

Boss did you find and answer? Why EPS light is on? Thanks... May honda civic fd have the same problem.. No power steering

This video is kind of sketchy too but I watched the whole thing..🤣😂 sketchy is the word 👍🏽

I got that rn after my car seating for a few years only start it once in a while never drove it, i changed the eps module could be the angle sensor in the steering wheel but i haven’t done a rack yet soo we’ll see

I have a 2013 Accord LXE . Seems like same issues. Brought it to the dealer. The gear box had failed. The gear box is covered by the manufacturer for 13 years. So I do not have to pay a dime. So bring it to a dealer.

Show de bola mano Civiqueiros rj Um abraço fica com Deus.

What was the issue the module or eps on the rack & pinion?

I have a 2000 Honda EU1 and I replaced the transmission only to get a an error code that says P1889 (Cvt sensor 2 circuit) changed the vss two times to no avail. Any ideas? The connection pushes 5 volts but registers nothing on a live scan when connected to the speed sensor.

Dude i have been driving mine with no power for over a year now. I changed the eps module as well the motor and harness and my shit still don't work. On the bright side i stay buff working the steering wheel.

Just FYI. Had the same issue, check the wiring by the front driver wheel. Mine was chewed up, I cut the bad part out, rewired it and fixed my problem.

Sometimes you need to drive like 35 miles or so, to reset/clear..Safe travels man!! 🤞👍

I drive an acoord sport with 2000 miles and have similar issues. There's no power steering at low speeds, as in city traffic and parking. Feels as if the steering engages and turns into power steering only at higher speeds. The dealer had to replace my rack but I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

I have a 2015 Honda Accord LX 2.4 and had front struts, sway bar and lower ball joints replaced as well as outer tie rods but I hear the strut springs popping when I turn sometimes at low speeds someone told me to redo lower ball joints and someone else said it's rack and pinion

So what ended up being the issue ?

Did you ever figure out what was causing it to stop working?

Did you support that rack and pinion when you pulled the transmission out . I know it was a long time ago just asking. Beacuse it can damage it ,if not support correctly

My steering becomes hard sometimes and shows P/S on de dashboard ,it becomes hard then the car switch off and starts its self without it cranking

This intermittently just started up on 2013 Honda Fit. Oh boy.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago. Honda need to replace the power steering rack which was bloody expensive

good afternoon gerb was the swap to my 2008 civic si k24 but now the electric steering is loaded for the left side only but for the right side it gets hard do you have any suggestions to fix the problem?

I have the Honda Civic 2012, and I have a 10 hours roadtrip, after I just oil change, reset the TMPS, and the steering light comes again when I had 2 hours on the Highway, it was freak me out!!! Fortunately, there weren't lots of car, and I parked on the Highway, use a little trick to make the light away, ( when u started the engine, meanwhile you turn ur steering wheel hard, it will save you for a little bit, it will normally running fine for some hours) BUT, I drive the car to the Auto repair to check what exactly happened. OMG, I am so scared if the wheel locked again on the highway. all cars going like 65-80 miles. and I stuck in the hotel room right now waiting for the store labor comes back tomorrow.

I currently have this problem with a 2007 Honda Fit. I can get the light to shut off and power steering to resume by TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON! Seriously, I think its on the same relay. Going to replace the relay to confirm when I get around to it...right now it works.

That happened to me once when I ran over a two by four on the highway...I parked and the light came on I was freaking out!!!...I turned the car off and then in and its been fine ever since...lol got a love our Si's...its always something haha stay safe out there brother God bless!!

It’s no-Ox grease to prevent oxidation and increase conductivity.

I replaced the rack on my 2006 when it was in the mid to upper 250,000 range. That car went to 465,000 and never threw a sensor code, ever. It is still running. My friend has it but it has electrical issues. they are her electrical issues now. Man, i loved that car! I did end up buying a 2013 and i still have my 2005 which is about to hit 243,000. None of them are Si's. I just drive too many miles a day for my job to be pumping premium gas. I am praying to God for a type R, tho :D

He’s complaining about driving without power steering 😂 back in the day the first thing we did on 88-00 Honda’s was removed the a/c and power steering to add hp had to make room for my intercooler and turbo 😆

Check the eps unit under the dash, its by the passenger side.

Shit just happened to me this morning, i turned off car and it turned off, prior to that the digital cold hot dash started lighting up weird... dealing with more cpu components, nothing like old school glad for the my 94 EGB18B1 when shit like this happens; fg2 is bad ass but more nanotechnology means other issues

Change the tilt and telescopic position once . It may work. 😊

just experienced the exact same issue... located AU 2013 honda civic hatchback made from UK, luckily the power steering went back after tough driving for few kilometers and after 10 more mins the EPS light on dashboard gone... but still worried the EPS might gone again during the rest road, planing to sent it to automobile to double check if the problem can be found

Hydraulic power steering is so much better than electric.

Ohhh maaaaaa gawwwwd

Make sure to do an idle relearn when disconnecting the battery...just an FYI!!

YOU GUYS SHOULD BRING ACURA N HONDA DEALERS TO COURT TO FIX THAT PROBLEM

I have the same problem in my vios 2010...mechanic t0ld me to change new eps module..but still the problem is still there and then they replace again the rock end pinion all new but still the problem is there.pls help wat im going to do😢😢😢

I’m dealing with this problem as well and replaced my steering rack. How do u fix this. Thinking about selling my car.

EPS is better hydraulic can be more complicated EPS little to no maintenance hydraulic requires maintenance and special Honda fluid hoses belts etc, I drove my 3rd gen accord over a year with no pwr steering once it died, took some time to get use to it, just slow turns and parallel parking was a bit tough.

Bro! Not a bad thing! Just delete power steering... Ive been contemplating that for a while now, i have some crazy bump steer on the highway. I might do my front struts and top hats first though....

Damn bro...every car has its issues ...my fa5 does this weird thing when it rain to where my wipers dont cut off...it takes like 30 seconds to a minute before it cut off after I manually cut them off..lol. I hope you find your issue tho

Replace your battery. If you notice, you let your car running for some minutes it goes away, because the battery is being charged by the alternator.

Ignored it and it went away. Right. Ok. Has a Hondata. Come on.

My first Honda Civic didn't even have power steering. Kids these days.

This might be a stupid question, but since the EPS fuse is linked with the main fuse; can you use the car without the fuse to disable the EPS? Please anyone let me know

The electric steering goes out in a lot of them . I have a 2014 Honda Accord and I have to disconnect the battery and let it sit overnight to reset itself then it will start turning. So if you google it you will see there’s hundreds of complaints about it and Honda will not do a recall!!!!! So dangerous to be driving on the interstate and loose steering. I think we need to hire a attorney and do something about it!!!❤

How did you fix the problem? ? I have the same with my honda city 2006

Dielectric grease to ensure good contact.

These cars desperately need a power steering / AC delete setup

In the 1950s this guy would have had a stroke!

Sekiranya simbol masih berkelip, apa yg perlu dilakukan

Yeah i did clutch and fixed my 3rd gear after came out of shop all these eps lights came on and rack is super stiff turning

Bro! I got this problem on my 2013 honda accord for 2 years it's not that bad you get used to it but it sucks at the same time

I have a 2014 honda accord doing the same i dont what it is

Hey big fan, do you live in SC? I drive a 08 civic si as well, could use some insights

Come on once you start driving you forget that the power steering isn't working.. It only affects you when u doing slow turns and all u need at that time is muscle 💪power

Go k24 now and when you swap, throw in a manual rack and do away with that nonsense

Rack and pinion....costed a lot but its back to normal

I got same problem recently, i told my husband to remove the battery and he remove the negative and positive for 1 hour, and the code error was gone, im using it again until now.

Did you check if the power steering fluid? If not sometimes the light comes on if the power steering fluid is low.

hello, in the end what was the problem?

Can anyone help me? I have a 8th gen si, when I turn all the way to the right or left. I hear humming. I was told it’s the power steering pump…but I thought there’s no pump and sis are all electric steering?

This is what's going on with my 2015 Honda Accord Coupe. A/C and radio shuts off and the steering wheel explanation light pops up. Miles @ 119,844 SN: Have a problem. Search KZfaq. Lol.

Hey what ended up being wrong? I have a 2014 Honda Civic. Completely different model but I’m having the same issue.

I have the same problem with my 2008 si. How did you fix yours?

Did you ever find out what was wrong? This is happening to me in my 2009 Honda Fit while driving and it’s scary please help

Having same problem did you figure it out?

I has the same problem. who know what the problem. the light only go off first start in the morning.

cool story bro

Fuck man you cannot catch a break jesus christ. Let's start a GoFundMe for this guys civic

Well mine still giving problems.... Burning rich most times when running hard

There is no light in my dash board but the steering feel very heavy

U going to hday nh?

Stephen OMG....😱🥺

where you able to find out if it was the rack

Can you or anyone tell me where is power steering fluid reservoir locate? I have 2009 Honda Civic Si.

Hydraulic power steering is great. If it ain't broke...

Go to the junker get one and put it on

Got a buddy club shift knob if you want it I can send it next month

Seems you never driven a car with no power steering before? Lol

I hate power steering lmao

Ep3 electric system need to be replace

dont run your civic with that light back to CT. dangerous no doubt

Bet it was your control module for your EPS

Also it could just be the eps motor and maybe not the whole rack.

Anyone found a solution ????? I was told to replace the ELD

Stock is best.

That grease is supposed to be there...

Dude get another SI

About the sketchy rack-n-pinion steering you demonstrated with the car stationary - OF COURSE!!!! If you are rolling, rack-n-pinion is much smoother. You youngsters act like rack-n-pinion steering is dark ages of driving when you have to work for the basics. Yes, most power-steering systems default to manual and it is hard. But it isn't dangerous unless you just can't physically turn the wheel. Sketchy? No, High _________ factor, probably. Or colloquially. I'm glad someone mentioned to you the dielectric grease you wiped off your contacts was intentionally place there. It reduces oxidation thereby preserving contact surfaces - in non-sketchy terms, it means your contacts stay well connected longer and better that without it. It is cheap insurance for a poor connection. I'm also glad that someone mentioned the point of driving for miles after the battery disconnect to reset your ECM codes related to the car's "status". I learned to drive on rack and pinion steering tractors. With the heavy traction weights on the front (keeps the tractor from popping up when you lift your implements in the back, yes the engine is heavy but not as heavy as something cantilevered behind the tractor) the rack and pinion really gets stiff. Man-up! Even my mother, a tiny 5'3 woman drove that tractor. She didn't like to, it wore her out, but she could drive it for hours if the work had to be done. Sketchy, LOL

The dumbest assist system ever created 😂 newer tech is not always better! Powersteering hydraulics all day baby

wouldn't be a speed sensor because that plays no part in steering assembly, abs may come on if its a tone ring with a sensor behind the wheel hub. But speed sensors don't generally affect electric power steering racks. Also not to mention your wasting time pulling an EPS fuse and disconnecting battery for issues like these. If the light comes on for power steering, and you have no power steering... Then likely an issue which is why it came up in the first place. Clearing cells and disconnecting battery wont do anything in todays automotive industry.. Why is that?? Because ECM's and PCM's have logged information with history. While check engine or other warning lights may not come up. That does not mean there is a stored code, and some scan tools will discover this after clearing cells as possible fault codes. After X amount of miles its either (yes still an active fault code) or (no everything is good) clearing the stored codes and no warning lights come up. PCM's after 2012 have history logging. In event of a totaled accident, the feds have tools for running investigations to see your last speed up to 30 seconds prior to totaling out a vehicle. Sounds nuts.... But a long term friend of mine has a nephew who killed a pastor in a wreckless car accident. After investigation they found out he was doing 123mph before impact. All from scanning the PCM....... In a Hellcat Charger.

6:00 it's drivable? You could barley turn in the car park :D
