These are few symptoms your car will communicate this problem to you with.
1. Steering Issues. The most noticeable symptom is difficulty in steering, which can manifest as increased effort to turn the wheel, steering stiffness or complete loss of power assist.
2. Warning Lights. a specific power steering warning light may illuminate on the dashboard, when your car is having this issue.
3. Intermittent Power Steering. The power steering might work intermittently, leading to unpredictable steering behavior.
4. Loss of Power Assist at Low Speeds
Symptom: Steering might become particularly difficult at low speeds, such as when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces.
The sad part is, when this symptoms occur in some cars, some mechanics erroneously diagnose this as bad EPS motor, and go ahead to change it. Some will refuse to work, while some will work temporary and return the problem again.
I remember a car that was brought to our garage after the owner and his mechanic has changed 5 different EPS motor without success to the solution of the problem.
So, If your car is exhibiting any of these symptoms, and you have checked to see that the electric power steering motor EPS motor is good, or the hydraulic steering power pump is good, then your car is simply telling you that you are having a u0131 error code issues.
Some cars may not throw the error code immediately for reasons best known to the manufacturers, but the symptoms are always the same.
