Alternator issue's, i don't know what vehicle do you have but its powered with EPS.
Do you have after market Audio gear installed ??

Get it's Alternator (Generator) checked.

When was the last time you changed its battery?
Get your battery checked, a resisting battery can put load on alternator, if I’m not wrong you have this issue mostly at nights. Dying battery in corolla makes this type of issues as well. My headlights were flickering from a week, and when I reached battery shop one cell was dead completely.

What about cold startup ?
I'm sure a weak battery won't be responsive on first crank on a cold engine.

i just had the battery change 4 months ago

Go to a battery guy, get its voltage and gravity checked. If its not battery than you can come to alternator. Sometimes new battery becomes problematic, and that’s why they have a warranty.

it happens when the car is all warmed up and standing in traffic...it tends to loose RPM and catches it back and while this happens the lights in the interior and exterior starts to flicker

[muiz_naseem]

ok i will give it a check....but could someone tell me about the steering light ??

Sometimes batteries have enough jucie to start your car, there is a difference between dying battery or already dead
2006 gli, lights started to flicker, and at one night when I turn them on after starting car the car was dying, and it was a battery fault. 2010 gli same thing happened and ran to a battery guy. 2016 altis cvti two weeks back I started noticed flickering lights, and one cell was dead.
I’m 70% sure that its a battery issue.

Even I faced problem in a battery once when it was just 2months old. 2 cells weren’t charging properly. Claimed it under warranty later on.

Steering assembly is also electric in corolla from 2008.

Which car do you have btw?

[muiz_naseem]

i have a vitz 2011-2012

[muiz_naseem]

i actually a read about a hard reset of the ECU but i am not totally sure whether that will work in my case

[muiz_naseem]

got the batteery checked today it is perfectly fine

[haseeb.basharat]

If battery is fine than alternator is also charging it properly.
When did you do throttle service and fuel filter change/cleaning?

[muiz_naseem]

Got it done about a month ago..with the oil change

Get the wiring on the eps checked, this happens when a wire almost gets earth. Could probably be a loose wire or connection, thats all
