as the weather has been crap today i worked from home,
went out and started the s about 1 hour ago,siting in car leting it warm up for a few mins first thing i get is .....eps light up on the dash (electric power stearing fault)
obviously no power stearing , i now can not get my lap top to connect via obd II connector and pcmscan software (which i have in the past)to find fault code.

not happy at the moment.



ok whinge over

 

move me please ooooopppps

 

Sorry to hear this, hope it is all ok soon

 

Tried an ECU reset ??
Might just be the cold has triggered a sensor.

 

Were you manually holding higher than idle revs to expediate the warm up process? You should know that holding 3000rpm (ish) for an extended period causes the power steering to fail and the light relating to it to illuminate - it usually goes away after a few moments of driving. Failing that try and ecu reset

 

i was about 2500rpm and i never new this why does it do that then.


thanks made me less pissed off

 

I can't remember why it does it? It happened to me once, I posted up and I *think* it was AE that advised me of the cause. It should be fine though - no harm done

 

sounds like ive done exactly the same.........ill remember that one for the future


id better go and put the front door back on i think i kicked it a bit to hard .oops


cheers

 

Yup happened to me once, just the cold weather, seems to be when you rev it up a bit to warm it up from cold, EPS doesnt like it?!
