LindaLC Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi All, My 2010 Vauxhall Meriva experienced an EPS fault this morning, which cleared after I restarted the car. I know that this was a common fault and at one time Vauxhall were addressing it under a recall, but I’ve been advised that my car is too old to be eligible. My concern is that, if I take my car into a garage to run a diagnostic at this point (after it’s happened just this one time), will they find the fault code, or should I wait to see if it recurs before taking any action? I have read that it can start as an intermittent problem but then becomes more permanent. any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you!

Vauxhall Owners Club Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Have you first tested the battery condition and charge? as this can cause the EPS fault if the voltage drops low, which can occur with this cold weather Advisable to check this first and then replace the battery if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaLC Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Thank you. EPS suddenly failed about 20 mins into the journey, so I’m guessing unlikely to be battery related. Thanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
