Exclamation EPS light on!

I have EPS light on my 2004 s2000, I just bought this car about 4 days ago and when I was test driving it a week ago it did not have this issue. When i picked it up it had the eps light on ever since.
When I turn it on the eps light isn't on but the second i turn the wheel in any direction i lose power steering. i've been doing research and deducted it either needs to be reset, a new eps module, or a new torque sensor.

However i have no idea where any of these are located, how to take them out, and where to even find the parts to replace them. Please help

@damian3castro is the person who needs to reset the EPS light. Not me.

I caused my EPS to malfunction by turning the steering wheel back and forth while the car was on a lift -- no wheels on the pavement (don't do that!).

I was able to reset it with the a very similar procedure which jumpered a couple of pins on the ODB2 port. Someone will have a link soon.

Click the link above. (I told you someone had the link!) A OBD2 extension cord is $8 and can be on your front porch tomorrow. Mine is "permanently" hooked and stuffed under the dash.
