Power steering not working
Hey, I’m new here. I recently bought my car but the power steering doesn’t work. I checked the fuzes but that’s not the problem. I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions or has had a similar issue.

Did you throw your accessory belt? Overheated too?
EPS will not run off of the battery. It runs only from a properly functioning alternator.

Interesting, thanks for that info. I might have to use that knowledge at work one day.

Other folks reading this, Don't drive without a working water pump. That's a showstopper.

I'm sure that the MIL must be illuminated. Take it to an auto parts store and ask if someone can read the code(s) for you.

My Power Steering ECU went at around 50K miles. It was $1200 with parts and labor at the dealer. The part online is like $500, the rest is labor. Not sure if you can fix it yourself. I believe part of the labor was having to calibrate it with the Toyota computer, but I'm not totally sure. In my case, the power steering would work, then randomly go out while driving. Turning off and on the car fixed it temporarily. I did ask them to check the codes before they did anything, but they said the car wouldn't show anything if it was hardware. It didn't. They actually had to leave the car running for about 2 hours before it faulted on its own so they could guarantee it was the ECU because the car didn't log any problems. |

The power steering light on the dash is on. The power steering never worked, even for the previous owner. Is it common for the power steering ecu to go out? ( for reference it has 137,000km or roughly 85,000 miles) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

* I should add, it could also be the motor itself. In that case, I think the dealer would replace the entire steering assembly which will be much more costly. |

I suggest not starting a new thread for the same problem.

C1515/1525 - No biggie. System needs re-initialized.
U0073/U0126 - U0126 is the tell. Busted clock spring. Most likely broken when the steering wheel was first removed.
