Steering Issue. Fixed?

[GreySquirrel]

When I bought my car, it had a steering issue. I sent the EPS motor away to ECU testing, and all was fine for the next 18 months. Until yesterday, when I started the car in the morning, and it had no power steering at all.

I scanned it and got the codes;

6127-Steering angle
6128 Vehicle speed
6116 Relays

I cleared the codes, started it up, and hey presto, it’s working!
It seems strange that the codes stopped it working. Is it a failsafe of some description? Trouble is, I’m now expecting this issue to come back again, probably mid corner on my favourite B-road….

Could the motor be on it’s way out again? Any thoughts?

I would start by speaking to ECU Testing and telling them exactly the same. See what they say?

They may say get the steering angle sensor recalibrated first

Lifetime warranty with ECU Testing as well.

I assume you mean the calibration?
Find someone with the INPA suite of software and they can do it properly with Tool32. I think Zedebee put a guide on here some time back.
Some handheld scanners do an ‘adaptation’ but I’m not sure if that is the same thing?
