EPS mystery
HiI have a 2003 S2000
when I leave the car for a few hours and come back to it my EPS light turns on when I turn the steering wheel. It stays on if I set off to drive.
However, if I drive for about 30m without turning my wheel the EPS light stays off and my steering is fine again. Until I leave it off for a few hours.
I was going to get it checked with a garage but first thought I'd ask here if anyone knows what the heck is happening?
The only issue I know of is my tracking is off, could that be related?
Thank you

With the car off, and the wheel straight do the following
1. Using a paper clip or backprobes, connect PIN 9 to PIN 4 on the ODBII connector.
2. Turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left
3. Turn the ignition switch on (II)
4. The EPS Light will be on for 4 seconds, when it goes out do step 5
5. Turn the steering wheel Straight, and release
6. The EPS Light will turn on in 4 seconds, when it goes out do step 7
7. Turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left
8. The EPS Light will be on for 4 seconds, when it goes out do step 9
9. Turn the steering wheel Straight, and release
now the EPS light will blink twice after you relase the wheel, within 4 seconds. then it will blink 5 times.
If the EPS light stays on, you will have to do this process again.

There may be subtle differences between the US and UK OBD2 ports I'm unaware of.
