Power steering problem with honda city

[fminhas]

Staff at Honda City sales is useless. These guys are earning so very much that they don’t care about their customers. They are not very professional. Sometime they are absolutely fail to diagnose the issue. These guys have monopoly in the market because one of the only two 3S dealers in Lahore. Your car is under warranty. Talk to the workshop manager (Jawad) or the guy deals warranty (Imran). Tell them if this is dam too difficult for you to understand the problem then refer the case to Honda company. Honda is used to send their ‘so called’ Engineers to dealer to check/diagnose the issues.

Hi Engineers, I saw your post in 2006. I am having exactly the same problem in my Honda city zx gxi model. The EPS is slightly harder than other cars and it is not returning automatically to the centre after turning. There is some noises near wheels when i turn the steering to the extreme ends when the car is not moving with engine idling. How could you solve your problem in 2006.

Is the eps light still there? If so, switch off the car, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Wait for 5 mins and reconnect it back.

problem partially resolved need advice from senior.
the problem resolved after using honda him hds . now we(i and ussi) play a lot with hds but torque sensor calibration cannot be resolved. actually we have to move steering 10 degree left and right so prolem lies here.
can somebody shed light on this issue

Hi everyone, i am aslo using city 2007, facing same eps steering issue since 2-3 years. changed many times torque sensors from open mechanics and two times through honda dealers as well.

every time honda says that the part of steering is not available. i will have to replace whole assembly having cost approx Rs. 85000.

can someone help me out the way to rush from this problem forever as it is now becoming irritating. i m seriously planning to sale out my card even i am so much satisfied with it except EPS.

A lot of mehnat indeed but its of no use uptil now

In karachi bro

You are absolutely right. even whenever i discussed it with professionals (i.e Honda dealer, engineer), they gave me HIT & TRIAL formula. they even don't have any procedure to diagnose the actual fault. the so called scanner every time tells the faulty temperature torque sensor whatever the fault is something else. they change all parts one by one... its your luck when faulty part changes.
after changing the sensor 5 times and changing all grips of wiring, i am not sure about the actual fault.

i believe, if there is torque sensor installed in steering, then we should not forget about steering performance. may be steering is getting more torque to move and sensor is indicating this issue and our so called engineers are just replacing the sensors as the money is not their headache!!!!!!.

did yur steering ever become soft after parts change

[needou]

Yes every time. But problem comes with in 2 to 3 months. Even if machenic calibarates it with scanner, it becomes soft and eps light goes off.. but after some days not more than one week it comes again...

Once i faced that this eps light goes off after powering off and on the ignition. But after one week my car snatched this facility from me..lol

[askai37]

eps controller gone. it donot retain calibration for long time.

[needou]

So i need to change eps card? Should i go on changing the motor too?

[askai37]

sir before going to change card check it as according to my research and working on it,it seems that either its memory ic is gone or there r some components which r burnt out so its better to check card first as possibility of motor weak is out of question as u mention that steering become soft after reset.

[needou]

Thanks for getting interest.
You are right bro but the issue is that who will check it. I have visited Honda Korangi and Honda drive in multiple time. They aven dont like to give answers to cusomers. If we go to open market then the techinicians are out of knowledge in this issue..
If you advise about right place to check then i will be thankful to you

[askai37]

check pm

Asif bhai inn bhai ko bhi bula len kisi din faulty rack gtg kar lete hain

[needou]

finally, i completely changed steering assembly except EPS card.. it took huge loss but no option i had.

Allah karay ab theek rahay.....
