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.

This happened to me again almost a year later. I missed a track day yesterday at cayuga because of it.
Car was at the dealer and they pulled the code from the history - C1528 - Motor rotation angle sensor. This is the same code it threw almost a year ago - Toyota recalibrated the steering and it went away for about a year.
Here is what the service manual says on the code - it says depending on what happens in diagnostics to replace either the power steering ecu or the steering column assembly. Because Toyota cannot reproduce they are guessing and would have to replace both which is about $3k CDN. Not too confident in just recalibrating the steering again as this doesn't seem to solve the root problem. Anybody else having issues with power steering cutting?
