EPS Electronic Power Steering

[ultimategarage]

I have a 99 NSX 6 speed with 44K miles. It recently threw the EPS light on the dash for the Electronic Power steering. I had read in some of the threads to pull the clock fuse for 10 seconds and the light would go off. That did work and restore the power steering, however after driving a few miles the light came on again, but the power steering still worked. I tried that several times, but the light keeps coming back on. Do you think I need a new module or could there be a less expensive problem?

Once the light goes on it should not continue working. Are you sure its the EPS light?

id like to hear more about this clock fuse fix. Brian does it work? my car hit a pretty deep puddle, what is the worst case senario in terms of costs?

 

[Briank]

The light should clear with the next shut down-restart pulling the fuse just clears the stored trouble codes like the ECU. Worst case is a bad steering rack $2400. Pull the code and let us know, for me to fix it you need to see a 22 code.

First, check the level of your PS fluid reservoir.

Hi

I just pulled a number off the top of my head, yes the steering rack goes for much more then $2400. What error code are you getting?

I would take it to one of the places in your area that specialize in NSX service. I know the OC is not the closest to LA proper, but there are two independent shops there that do a lot of NSX work:

Autowave
Niguel Motors

Note that anyone who has not yet done so should talk with Briank to make sure it's the mechanical stuff (e.g. rack) and not the electronics that need fixing. If it's the electronics, Briank refurbishes those at a small fraction of the cost of buying new parts.
