Hello!

I was wondering if I could grab some advise from you good people?

I have a owned a Civic Sport from new on an 03 plate. She has only done 70k mikes and is only used about 2-3 times a week these days due to work.

After 10 years of trouble-free motoring, I now have a fault.

The car was warming up on my driveway last night as it hasn't run for a couple of weeks, something called Christmas loomed up faster than a top fuel drag.

Anyway, everything was ok but then the EPS light came on. The car was stationary, but the steering did feel very heavy. I don't turn the wheel while the car is stationary as a general rule.
I turned the car off, left it for 5 minutes and turned it back on again but the EPS light remains on so I turned it all off again and made some dinner.

Has anyone else had this happen and what does it mean?

There is no fluid leak, the pump has never made a noise and as far as I'm aware, the fuses are all ok.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm moving house on Monday and I can't move my car!


Thanks in advance,

Nige

Possibly an issue with the EPS Module.

The stop/start/rock the steering solution often works but 9/10 it will be a module replacement/software issue.
