EPS- Electronic power steering warning light. is there any steering problems ? Light being on means there probably is a trouble code in the EPS module .

Well. I don't think they will be related. EPS is your electric power steering light. The hub would have the ABS system attached to it. Have it hooked up to a computer at a parts store for free and they will tell you the code that is tripping the light and what it is.

1. disconnect the battery both terminals.
2.Look for EPS control module on front passanger deck below dashboard,disconnect the cable connector
3, spray both EPS and cable connector with contact cleaner aerosol.immediately plug in back.
4. Right above EPS module there are Air Con piping make sure the condensate water do not dripped onto EPS module by covering it with plastic sheet.
5. Spray all cables to battery terminal with contact cleaner and connect it back.
6. Start your engine .
In case it still dont work ,you have to look further into EPS motor.
Hope it will solve your problem at least it work for me.

EPS is Electronic Power Steering.

When the light comes on, it is a warning that the Electronic Power Steering system is having a problem.

The increased force you have to use, is because the EPS is not assisting you as much as it was before, if at all.

Here is a link to a video explaining the basic operation of the electronics at youtube.
