What does this fault code mean?
The power steering module has registered an internal memory fault. The cause is a damaged module. Because the fault sits inside the module, the module needs replacing if the fault is not temporary.
Possible causes
- Damaged electric power steering module (EPS)
What you can do
- 1Read the fault code status after starting the engine
- 2Clear the fault code and drive the car for a while to see whether it returns
- 3If the internal fault is permanent, the module must be replaced, which a workshop should do
- 4Power steering affects how easily the car can be steered, so have a workshop fix the fault soon
Symptoms you may notice1
- Steering needs extra or uneven effort
