Fiat Punto 188 power steering – problems, symptoms and solutions

The Fiat Punto 188 is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS), which is known by many drivers for both its comfort and its susceptibility to faults. With this model, power steering problems occur regularly, often recognizable by the EPS light on the dashboard or a steering wheel that suddenly becomes heavy.

Common symptoms

Typical complaints with the power steering of the Fiat Punto 188 are:

• Heavy steering, especially at low speeds or when starting
• EPS or steering warning light that comes on
• Steering wheel vibrates or hums
• Car pulls to one side
• Knocking, creaking, or thumping noise when steering
• Steering responds jerkily or unpredictably

The causes of these faults usually lie in the electronic steering column. Important components that can fail are:

• Steering angle sensor or torque sensor
• EPS motor or control unit
• Position sensor

During diagnosis, fault codes are often read out such as:
C1002, C1005, C1006, C1007, C1012, C1013, C1016, C5001 and C5002.

Overhauling the steering column is an economical and durable solution. In this process, defective sensors, motor components or circuit boards are replaced or repaired. Sometimes replacing the entire EPS unit is necessary. Always ensure the battery is in good condition, as voltage problems can affect the system.

The power steering of the Fiat Punto 188 regularly shows problems, but these can be remedied effectively. A proper diagnosis, fault code analysis and expert repair can save a lot of money. For lasting solutions, a visit to the Power Steering Specialist is recommended.
