This just happened to me today. Driving slowly in a condo area (park lawn for those in Toronto). Got the steering wheel with the ! light on the dash and lost power steering. Only electrical mod to the car is an aftermarket deck. I'm at 130,000 kms so looks like I'm on my own.

I was googling eps Toyota and it looks like you may have to replace the whole rack? This going to be pricey :/

UPDATE: Car is at Toyota and they caught one of the codes - they mentioned Toyota recommends a re-callibration first. Hoping that's all it needs.

The only thing I can think of is I hit a railroad track very hard at decent speed - could have thrown something off.
