why does my Honda Accord EPS system feel unresponsive

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on the EPS system.

2. Inspect and Replace EPS Fuse

• Locate the EPS fuse in the fuse box.
• Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
• Inspect the fuse for blown elements; replace with an identical rating if necessary.

3. Check and Repair Electrical Connections

• Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to the "ON" position.
• Inspect the EPS motor connections for any signs of corrosion or damage.
• Clean the terminals with electrical contact cleaner and re-tighten any loose connections.

4. Test and Replace EPS Motor (if necessary)

• If the motor is suspected to be faulty, disconnect the wiring harness from the EPS motor.
• Use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity and proper voltage.
• If the motor fails the test, replace it with a new EPS motor, following the manufacturer’s specifications.

5. Reassemble and Finalize

• Reconnect all electrical connectors and ensure they are secure.
• Replace any panels or covers removed during the process.
• Reconnect the battery and perform a system reset if necessary.
