...but there's an overtemp indicator in the instrument cluster. Does that not ever illuminate?
I had an alternator light like that on another first-year model. 3 alternators and it never warned me. POS.

It happens at a point I doubt anyone would have their eyes on the dash (turn in). I still see the stability light flashing away even when the system is off but I believe that is normal. The electric motor is sealed so there is no easy way to cool it without making a coil, fluid, radiator, and fan.

Just got back from a weekend at NCM Motorsports Park. Had the same thing happen at the bottom of the "sinkhole" corner several times. I never lost front end grip just power assist. Happened with and without pedal dance. Only suspension related mods are a Stano bar, crash bolts and 17x9 wheels with 255/40 Kook RS3's.
This corner has lots of compression at the bottom. Could it be that the power steering just doesn't have the "power" to assist in those conditions? |

Yeah typically high g out turns like Lime Rock onto the front straight or "hog pen" at VIR or trail braking areas. Anywhere you are loading the fronts higher than normal. I could see a little more toe out helping but it just wears the tires out so fast and it can really scrub speed on a low power car.

I'm on a train right now and nowhere near my car. However I've been reading through the manual since I just got the car a few days ago and there was definitely something in there about how excessive steering inputs for extended periods can cause the electric power steering to go into safe mode to avoid overheating. I'll try to find the exact wording.
Edit: Found it! Quote:

The idiot light indicates an already-present overtemp condition. The loss of servo output should coincide with it.
Edit: Ah, so it's an "Uncle!" light. Still, no one sees this?

I think I'm hyperhyphenating.

My car is only lowered about 1 inch , I am running -3.5 camber and -3 in the past but no difference, with and without RCA still the same. I also tried full stiff/soft in the suspension and it didn't help either **argh** My PS warning light never come on though..... Anyone has a fix so far ? Will longer steering rack bolts or bushings help ? |

Or maybe it's that the EPS gets enough of a rest during T1-->Bus Stop entry that it's not going to overheat there. I suppose the T10/T11 sequence might create the condition, but even with greater than normal trail-braking into T1 there was no evidence of it there either. FWIW, the car was running Dunlop ZIIs in 215 - so, good grip, but nothing like a real tire. I'm guessing this FR-S just isn't developed enough to overheat the EPS on that track. |
