When your EPS fails, are you getting any extra horses under that hood?

I can't tell any differnce.

 

EPS? Power Steering?

 

yes indeedy

 

why would a failure in the Power Steering give you any additional HP???
To answer your question: NO, it does not.


All you get is this pretty little light to stare at










now Mr. hkspoweredrx8: how about you go buy some HKS parts to add to your mod list so that your user name actually makes some sense.

 

no, its electric.

 

Just thought it would be less stess on the alt. pulley thats all...less current drawn usaly means more hp..

Just wondering though.

I know, I cant help that I have a snazy name

 

Just more available voltage.

 

awww okay. Makes alot of sense.

 

hi,i have mazda 2 2011 EPS is my problem..EPS was ligth on in the panel board...can i know what can i do to remove the EPS ligth on the panel board..so the power steering works OK.tnx

 

Yes, to fix light that stares at you so brilliantly, you must first do the thing your brain does not comprehend. Take car, you must, to dealer of Mazda's, as help you, they will.



BC.

 

^f*ckin funny are you

 

^^Seriously lmao'd

 

You did the right thing Bladecutter...you gave him a serious answer...

 

You're right. Don't listen to those fools. When the power steering pump is running, it is drawing current from the electrical system, which the alternator has to provide. The more current the alternator is providing, the more torque it applies to the accessory pulley.

A power steering system is not really a big power drain though, so you're not likely to notice improved acceleration. And of course, the power steering only creates a load when it's helping you turn the steering wheel...
