Can anyone check something for me on a panda 03 /12 - 169
Mine is a 2004 1.2 8v
Ignition on, engine off, does the power steering operate ?
Mine does, I would have expected it not to as I thought it sensed alternator output ? - also, why have power steering if car is not running.
Please can you check and let me know, or you may know already.
Slightly baffled on this.. cant understand why it is running with ign on and engine not started.
Also getting a warning with MES of high current with engine running, wheel centered and no steering applied, on turning the steering I get a 'normal' reading even through to full lock - again this is baffling and possibly a bug in MES - the only reason I say that is if it was taking high current (too high) (higher than needed ) at idle position, then it should flag an error in the delphi steering ecu, which it does not. The High current and Normal is a parameter that can be selected in the Delphi ecu tests with MES.
Also if anyone HAS MES and capability to read the steering ecu, can you look at the current load (Current absorbed)
Torque sensor seems ok as the effort needed either way is the same, return to center is ok too. I could calibrate it with mes but will await anyones input.
Confused in Portugal
Sorry for all the questions,
