If you’re experiencing difficulty with your electric power steering, resetting the system may be an option. Resetting the assist can sometimes solve common issues like a stiff or unresponsive steering wheel and can save you from having to take it into a shop for more costly repairs. Resetting your electric power steering is relatively easy and only requires a few steps: First, turn off the engine and disconnect both battery terminals for at least 10 minutes. Then reconnect the battery terminals and start up the car, allowing it to idle for about 5 minutes before turning off again. Finally, restart it one last time and check if the issue has been fixed - if not you should seek professional assistance as soon as possible!
