Hello there everyone!
I own a 2004 Fiat Punto and sadly it's electronic power steering has decided to give up on me. It had been intermittently turning off for a time but now it has fully gone.
I have tried several things to try and fix it including:
I have read that it could either be the PAS ECU in the steering column or that the Torque sensors have gone, but the lack of error codes has me a bit unsure.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be and/or why there are no error codes? What would be the best thing to do next? I love this car and I would hate to get rid of it.
Thank you,
-Stevie

I have tried several things to try and fix it including:
- Getting the Battery and Alternator currents checked at a local Halfords, they are both fine.
- Replacing the Electronic Power Steering motor in the steering column, this made it work for about 20 mins.
- Running on-board diagnostics via two different OBDII readers, both of which produced no error codes.
