I have DTC1 (one flash) show up when I short #4 and #9 for diags on my Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist. That code maps to a stuck relay per the service manual, which I assume is in the EPS unit. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Do I need a new EPS unit, or should I just go down to Vato Zone and get the "tamper proof" wrenches to open the unit up?

Thoughts welcomed. Anyone have good recommendations on junkyards around that would sell me a used EPS?

Best,
Stanford

I'm giving up on my EPS and will be calling around the junkyards this week. Please let me know if anyone has good or bad experiences with various salvage yards, especially regarding electrical components.

The link below seems promising, but if you see any places on there to avoid I definitely welcome the input.

I've had some good luck using HAP recycling out of California.
