im not sure if my CEL is on.. probably is, *shrug.. i havent driven my S in about 2 weeks or so now. i've started it up though, just to check if the EPS would come back on.. took it out once around the block but no luck getting it to come back to life. in the s2000 book, it says you can use a DTC scanner to find out what is wrong with the EPS so im not sure.

if there is a symbol for the check engine light. that means you have a CEL..

also let me ask you this. did you swap out the headlights? if you did, did you unplug something that could have caused this EPS problem? or did it happen before you swapped out the lights? maybe a harness is unplugged.

lolz joey, i aint that slow.. i am not sure if there is a cel at the moment (havent turned on the car in a while) but the EPS indicator light is on. also, the EPS problem first started acting up the night i bent my rims.. but it only turned off for a second. i pulled over, turned the car off, and turned it back on and the power steering was back to normal.. not this time, however. the EPS is off, and remains off.
