Hi jburneo,

Information for the EPS are limited and diagnostic requires specialised equiments.

The Power Steering control Mudule is located on the steering column.

The EPAS system provides power steering assist to the driver by replacing the conventional hydraulic valve system with an electric motor coupled to the steering shaft. The motor is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) that senses the steering effort through the use of a torque sensor mounted between the steering column shaft and the steering gear. Steering assist is provided in proportion to the steering input effort and vehicle speed.
