Effective EPS Service | Step 2: Diagnose It

When it comes to repairing an electronic vs. hydraulic steering assembly, the first step in both cases is diagnosis. But when it comes to diagnosing EPS, visual inspection won’t provide the path to repair. That’s because within the electronic assembly, there is an electronic board and circuitry, an electric motor, and a torque sensor that can all potentially fail. These are all components that require a diagnostic tool, like our Vcarsys, along with an OBD-II scan tool for troubleshooting. The Vcarsys is our flexible diagnostics tool that utilizes the built-in OBD-II functions of a vehicle combined with simulated vehicle driving dynamics. It’s an effective and efficient way of evaluating and validating the electronic function of EPS units.

LEVELS OF EPS REPAIR
The reason a diagnostic tool will become the centerpiece of your EPS business is that you will be able to quickly understand the level of repair required beyond a mechanical overhaul. And as your expertise in electronics continues to grow, so will your revenue and margins. The diagnostic process will lead you to the validation of the electronic components within the system. If the diagnoses show electronic failure, two options exist: repair and/or replacement of the electronics.
