Lost my electronic power steering this weekend while driving. Boy, that

will wake you up pretty fast. Driving at slow speed in a neighborhood, all of a sudden warning lights and messages, and I needed serious muscle to turn that wheel. My message board said turn the car off and then back on to possibly reset. Tried that, didn't work.
Then drove home. At high speed wasn't too bad. Low speed, thank God I didn't die.

After poking around with it for a while, turned car back on and everything fine. Drove fine yesterday. Online says it can be as easy as a fuse or loose belt, to the EPS Control Unit Module. ($1800 to replace) My car is 2012 Acura TSX. Apparently Hondas and Acuras have a history with these things.

It's in the shop with "my guy" today. Can't wait to see what it is.

Did you get any codes? Recommend part "price shopping" ahead of time! -- EDGEMAN 03/05/2019 1:08PM

Thanks. I watched a video yesterday of a guy replacing one. He was using -- Stork 03/05/2019 2:05PM

I would have him advise you before he replaces anything -- EDGEMAN 03/05/2019 2:16PM

That definitely won't happen. I think the $1800 was from online forums -- Stork 03/05/2019 2:35PM

Never heard it expressed like that...she'll probably forgive you.... ** -- RTFC 03/05/2019 12:26PM

Did you look between the driver's seat and the console? -- vt90 03/05/2019 12:11PM

Is this the context? -- HokieSignGuy 03/05/2019 11:52AM

Daaayyuummm, modules solid git after ya, hope not that ** -- astrohokie 03/05/2019 11:42AM
