Can I continue driving with the car EPS light on?

No, it's dangerous, the EPS light is on means that the electric power steering system is malfunctioning.

And after the EPS light is on, it is not possible to repair it by yourself, because the composition of the EPS is not the same as other parts, and if you repair it yourself, it is easy to not know how to install it.

And when the EPS is on, don't force the vehicle, you must know that the EPS refers to electronic power steering, if you force the driving, the impact on the driver is very large, because turn the steering wheel.

It takes a lot of effort, so it can be very dangerous in driving.

Technical advantages: 1. Energy saving and environmental protection due to the hydraulic pump when the engine is running.

Always in working condition, the hydraulic steering system increases the overall engine fuel consumption by 3% 5%, while the EPS uses the battery as the energy source and the motor as the power element, which can work independently of the engine, and the EPS almost does not directly consume engine fuel.

Hydraulic power steering fluids do not exist for EPS.

Leakage problem, EPS is electronically controlled, almost no pollution to the environment, and fuel consumption is reduced.

2. Easy to install The main components of EPS can be integrated together, easy to arrange, and there are many fewer components compared with the hydraulic power steering system, and there is no hydraulic system.

The required oil pump, oil pipe, pressure and flow control valve, oil storage tank, etc., the number of components is small, the assembly is convenient, and the time is saved.

3. High efficiency The efficiency of hydraulic power steering system is generally 60% 70%, while the efficiency of EPS is higher, which can be as high as 90% or more.

4. Good road sense Most of the traditional pure hydraulic power steering systems use fixed magnification and large working driving force, but they cannot realize the lightness and road sense of the car when driving at various speeds. The hysteresis characteristics of the EPS system can be compensated by the software of the EPS controller, so that the car can get satisfactory steering assistance at all speeds.

5. Good return to normality The EPS system has a simple structure, which is not only easy to operate, but also can get the best return to normality by adjusting the software of the EPS controller, so as to improve the stability and comfort of car control.

No, it's dangerousThe EPS light is on means that the electric power steering system is faulty, and the symptoms are: heavy steering, abnormal steering noise, steering wheel shaking, poor steering wheel return ability, etc., it is recommended to go to the auto repair shop for maintenance in time. At this time, the car should be stopped as soon as possible under the premise of ensuring safety, ** seek help from a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop, and it is best to let the trailer tow away.

It's just that the steering wheel has no help, and it becomes very difficult to control. If the vehicle does not show any of the above symptoms, you can stop the vehicle and restart the engine to see if that solves the problem. If you restart the engine, you can continue driving, but you should also go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop as soon as possible for inspection.

Try to avoid aggressive driving while driving.

The car EPS light is on

The full English name of EPS is Electronic Power Steering, that is, electronic power steering. It uses the power generated by the electric motor to assist the motorist in power steering. The composition of EPS is generally the same for different cars, although the structural components are different.

Generally, it is composed of torque (steering) sensor, electronic control unit, electric motor, reducer, mechanical steering gear, and animal battery power supply.

When the car is driving, it is subjected to lateral and longitudinal forces, and when the lateral force is too large, the handling force is reduced a lot, and it is easy to lose control. ESP improves this, when the vehicle is unstable, based on the CPU calculation, the electronic power assist system can independently brake each wheel and participate in the management of the engine system to ensure the safety of driving.

A: It's best not to keep driving because the ESP is an electronic steering system.

The EPS light is on, which should represent the problem of the car's steering power system, in this case, you can continue to drive, that is, you should drive the car to the garage for maintenance as soon as possible.

If the EPS light is lit, it is generally a fault of the electric power assist system, and if it is accompanied by abnormal conditions such as heavy steering wheeling, abnormal steering noise, steering wheel shaking or poor steering wheel return ability, it is not possible to continue driving. If there is no abnormal situation like the above, you can stop the car safely and restart the engine for a trial. Here's an introduction to EPS:

1. EPS is the abbreviation of Electric-Power-Steering, which is a power steering system that directly relies on the motor to provide auxiliary torque, and has many advantages compared with the traditional hydraulic power steering system HPS. The EPS is mainly composed of a torque sensing cluster digger, a vehicle speed sensor, an electric motor, a reduction mechanism and an electronic control unit (ECU). 2. The working principle of EPS is that the torque sensor is connected with the steering shaft, when the steering shaft rotates, the torque sensor begins to work, and the relative rotation angular displacement generated by the input shaft and the output shaft under the action of the torsion bar becomes an electrical signal and transmits it to the ECU, and the ECU determines the rotation direction of the motor and the size of the booster current according to the signal of the vehicle speed sensor and the torque sensor, so as to complete the real-time control of power steering.

Therefore, it can easily provide different power assist effects of the electric motor when the speed of the car is different, so as to ensure that the car is light and flexible when driving at low speed, and stable and reliable when driving at high speed.
