Went back this morning and whack the Map sensor. Reset the ECU. And did the idle reset thing. Where i ran the car at a consistent 3000rpm until the fan came on. Now the EPS comes on in the dash. What does that mean?

Sideways

Electric power steering.

its a safety thing, if you rev the car for a minute or 2 like that, it will set the EPS. you can reset it with a piece of wire according to the service manual instructions.

Squeezer is right, if the engine is reved for a prolonged period the EPS will come on. It happened to me after cleaning the fuel system. I drove it around the block and it went off. You could feel the difference in the steering while the light was on.

Yes, this is correct. If you rev it in neutral for a prolonged time, the computer decides that maybe the speedo is broken. Since the EPS relies on the speedo input, it shuts down the EPS.

A very short drive is all it takes for the EPS fault to reset. The light will go off and your power steering will work again.

BTW, the "idle learn" process is supposed to be IDLE learn. You aren't supposed to be revving it.

EPS light= EPS DTC

I've idle learned several cars, and never set a EPS DTC

Can't say that i've ever seen that. Now I'll have to try it on a car.
