Default EPS Light of Doom

My power steering keeps disappearing on me every 6-8 weeks and im getting fed up to the back teeth.

Each time i take it to Honda and they report the same 2 fault codes, work their magic, then give it back good as new.

Fast forward 6 weeks and the light comes back on and the power steering disappears again.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do? Apart from sell up of course, which at this point im extremely tempted to do.

Please help.

I had a massive battle with losing EPS.

Have a fair understanding of the system now after replacing various sensors, the EPS ECU, and the whole steering rack!

My advice, sit the car with the enigne running when your EPS is healthy, then go an wiggle the connector for the torque sensor down in the engine bay, and the power on the rack itself. See if the EPS comes on. Mine was just a dodgy connector in the end.

The fault codes are always the same #11 & #34

Where abouts is the torque sensor located?

If you can't sort it I have an EPS brain available...and a steering rack if it really gets to it!
