At Meta Mechanics, we understand that the electric power steering (EPS) system in your Range Rover Sport is essential for responsive and effortless handling. Recently, we completed an Electric Power Steering (EPS) Rack repair for a Range Rover Sport in Dubai. A malfunctioning EPS rack can lead to stiff, unresponsive steering, and can negatively affect the overall driving experience. Our expert technicians identified the issues within the EPS system and performed the necessary repairs to restore smooth steering performance.
Issues Found During Electric Power Steering Rack Repair:
- Faulty Electric Power Steering Motor: The electric motor within the EPS rack was found to be malfunctioning, causing a lack of steering assist, especially at low speeds or while parking.
Solution:
We repaired or replaced the faulty electric power steering motor with a new, high-quality component, ensuring that the steering assist was fully restored, and the vehicle provided smooth and easy handling. - Damaged Steering Rack Sensors: The steering rack sensors, which provide feedback on steering angle and assist levels, were found to be damaged, leading to inconsistent steering performance and lack of responsiveness.
Solution:
We replaced the damaged sensors with new, OEM-grade parts and recalibrated the EPS system, ensuring accurate feedback and restoring the system’s ability to adjust the steering assist based on driving conditions. - Electrical Wiring or Connection Issues: The electrical wiring connecting the EPS system to the vehicle’s power source was loose or damaged, causing intermittent power loss to the steering system, leading to unpredictable steering behavior.
Solution:
We performed a thorough inspection of the wiring and connections, repaired any damaged sections, and ensured that the EPS system was receiving stable electrical power, allowing the steering to function smoothly without interruptions. - Overheating of the EPS System: The EPS system in the Range Rover Sport had been overheating due to excessive load or inadequate cooling, which resulted in a temporary loss of power steering assistance.
Solution:
We improved the cooling efficiency by replacing faulty components such as cooling fans and addressing any blockages or damage in the cooling system. This helped prevent further overheating and ensured the EPS system operated within its optimal temperature range. - Software Calibration and System Reset: After the hardware repairs, the EPS system needed recalibration to ensure the software communicated correctly with the newly replaced components, restoring the vehicle’s steering feel.
Solution:
We performed a full system reset and recalibration using advanced diagnostic tools, ensuring that the EPS system operated seamlessly and the steering feedback was restored to its original, smooth performance.
