this thread seems to have info on accessing the power steering unit, not sure if this is the right direction or not. Good luck.

Thanks for that link, it will be really helpful it I can isolate it to the EPS motor, since the access to it is well defined and photo'd in the thread. I read through it, it seems like everyone who did the coupler piece change did it because of a rattle, not due to loss of EPS, but at least there's a well defined procedure for getting in there and getting my hands on the EPS motor.


I'll go through the service manual posted earlier as well and see if I can find an electrical spec for the motor (doesn't sound likely, since the poster couldn't find it) and I'll take home a bench power supply to see if I can test it outside the car under load.
