Sirion EPS problem

Forum: 

I have a Sirion new shape 05 when i turn on the ignition the EPS light goes out but when i stary the engine there is a ticking noise that comes from the steering column and then the light comes back on. But if i wobble the steering wheel left and right when starting the car the EPS light doesnt come on and works as normal?! What is the problem, please help its driving me crazy, also i had it plugged in at a mates garage and there was no EPS errors on the obd reader :S

same EPS problem

I have your same problem to the EPS light? How did you solved?

Same Eps problem

did anyone manage to resolve this? Happen to me too..

Worth contacting your local Daihatsu garage/Daihatsu UK

Could be worth a chat to your nearest garage and/or Daihatsu UK as it could be a recall on this. I know a few years ago the then local Daihatsu Service Garage in Crewe had a couple in with a known Steering fault and was being done with Daihatsu paying for it being fixed. Unfortunately that Garage closed last year Sad

Seem to recall that this is one of a known problem....

I seem to recall that when I last visited my local Daihatsu garage (Before it closed), that the New shape Sirion had known issues around an ECU fault. Maybe worth contact your nearest Daihatsu parts/servicing garage to enquire.

2005 Sirion eps not working

I have the same problem on my dad's car. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. No daihatsu dealers close to us in birmingham

Any updates on this?

As per title, has anyone managed to solve this. I currently have to turn the steering wheel when starting the car to stop this light coming on.

EPS still not working

Hi, I have been having a similar problem. Anyone fixed it yet? I have been told to change the EPS motor. Not sure about it though.
