Hey Guys...I stalled my car yesterday. Then after startup my EPS light came on. Tried resetting the clock fuse and checked ground on battery, no help. Anyone have other solutions to reset EPS?

Trouble shot the EPS failure using the service manual flow charts, everything checks out fine but the light is still on. Then tried looking for error codes, no codes. Could a 'spike' in voltage blow the EPS control unit?If the EPS light remains illuminated after pulling the reset fuse that suggests that the error causing the problem persists. Trigger the display of the stored error codes using the service check connector. The error codes will give you some clue as to what is going on.
As an aside, what is the voltage in your car when you are cranking the engine? Is it dropping below 10 volts which is indicative of a failing battery? The reason I ask is last spring when I took my car out of storage I had a weird problem with the rear hatch closed indicator on the dash staying lit even though the hatch was closed (prevented arming of the security system). I chased the problem for a few days and then my 8yr old battery went dead. I replaced the battery and the indicator problem went away. The problem was not the battery cable clamps because I cleaned them when I connected the battery coming out of storage. Prior to the battery dying the car voltage was always > 14 volts when running and that didn't change after replacing the battery. I have no explanation for how changing the battery fixed the problem; but, the strange thing is that two other owners reported similar problems and the same fix. Just another thing to check since we are in the Hail Mary mode.
always good to have spares...like the main relay.
wow that is pricey for a little box....unless its blue......
Problem Solved...replaced EPS Control Unit.
Now the real detective work will be done by BrianK. I sent the bad EPS control unit to him for repair.
I didn’t check the part number...I was not aware of EPS control units with known problems. Do you have more info on which EPS control units have issues? I can’t check since I’ve already sent mine to Brian.
