Mechanic's tip

EPS systems fail less often than hydraulic systems but are more expensive to repair when they do. The most common failure is the torque sensor rather than the motor itself โ€” ask for a full diagnosis before authorizing parts. Some EPS modules require programming with dealer-level software after installation, which adds to labor costs.
