Autonews.ru: 5 reasons why EPS may light up on the dashboard
The more options a vehicle has, the more questions owners have about their maintenance. For example, not everyone understands what to do when the EPS signal on the dashboard comes on. Most often, owners of cars from VAG and Mercedes-Benz group companies face this problem. This topic was discussed in detail by experts from Autonews.ru.
If you understand what the EPS function means, then there won’t be any special questions. This option includes a set of electronically controlled components that are directly responsible for the power of the power unit. There are several reasons why this signal is triggered. In particular, it could be a simple electronics failure. Accordingly, there is no need to look for problems with the car. But the reason may be a malfunction of the throttle assembly. In this case, the signal is usually triggered at a certain pedal position. It is advisable to contact a specialist or carry out diagnostics yourself using an OBD-II standard scanner.
There may also be a problem in the gas pedal, which has a clear resemblance to the throttle assembly. A similar situation can occur with the brake pedal. Here, by the way, it is possible to switch the function to emergency mode. The final reason is the need to adapt the throttle. This problem usually occurs after cleaning the throttle valve. You can fix some problems yourself, but it is advisable to contact a specialist.
