The 500 E.P.S steering system is flawed and prone to either intermittent or total failure.

Common Fault Codes will be;

C1001: Electric Motor Failure

C1002: Steering Column Torque Sensor Failure

Any of these faults will require a replacement column.

1. Motor failure ,sometimes intermittent to begin with but always leads to terminal failure, due to components within the internal control board inside the motor burning out.

2. E.C.U. Failure, the ECU contains several chips which control the both function of the column and also the self test and failure system.One or more of these chips can fail and cause the system to shut down, sometimes the ECU can give an eroneous fault code that appears to be a motor failure if scanned, but is actually a fault of the ECU itself. Importantly the ECU also controls the left/right balance of the column and is used to calibrate the output from the torque/position sensor contained in the column, for this reason the ECU should be matched and calibrated to the torque sensor.

3. Torque and position sensor. This is inbuilt into the centre of the column and gives the ECU information on the position of the steering wheel and also how much assistance is required from the motor.The sensor can go out of balance and steering becomes lighter in one direction,also can fail to give signal ,which will cause ECU to shut system down.When a torque sensor is replaced the column needs to be re-calibrated to ensure it is in balance. We believe the only way to do this is for us to supply a complete column with all components tested and calibrated.

We are a power steering specialist and have been providing solutions for all types of power steering faults for over 25 years.

We have been repairing and reconditioning Fiat electric columns for the last 5 Years.

This auction is for an electric power steering column for a Fiat 500, this is an exchange unit service , we will send you a reconditioned column first and then collect your old column afterwards so your car will not need to be of the road whilst you send your column away for repair.

You can also check the part number of the column which is on a white label on the underside of the column, the number should be 735451735 , if you are unsure of the part number then please phone me.

First a little bit of help and advice that is from our 5 years experience and may help you to solve your problems.

Much has been written on various forums , blogs and even adverts from people claiming to have the last word in the Fiat EPS problems, much of it is eroneous,false and sometimes downright misleading.

The Fiat 500 electric power steering unit is different to other Fiat models,but still suffers from failures that result in the column having to be changed.

The usual failure is that the unit goes out of balance,resulting in lighter steering in one direction, this is sometimes accompanied by a vibration and an indication of steering failure on the dash.

In order to solve your problem then the electric power steering column needs to be replaced, the unit we supply will not need to be calibrated when fitted to your vehicle.

We can offer to diagnose your 500 EPS failure FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!! by plugging our latest diagnostic/scanner into your vehicle ,only takes 5 mins. and we can tell you what the problem is.

We have a fully equipped workshop and can offer a fitting service for complete columns at minimal cost, just phone and ask.
