Opel Corsa E power steering – problems, symptoms and solutions

The Opel Corsa E (model years 2012–2019) is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS). This system is known for its light steering feel, but unfortunately this model relatively often experiences power steering problems. Many owners encounter a heavy steering wheel, an illuminated steering or EPS warning light, or even a complete loss of power steering.

One of the most common complaints with the Opel Corsa E power steering is that the steering suddenly becomes heavy, especially at low speed or while parking. Sometimes the power steering fails completely and returns temporarily after restarting. Other symptoms are: - EPS light stays on - Thudding, creaking or popping noises when steering - Play in the steering wheel - Vibrations in the steering wheel - Irregular or jerky steering.

These complaints often indicate a problem in the steering column or EPS unit.

The most common causes for the Corsa E are:

• Defective or worn steering column
• Problems with the EPS module
• Defective steering angle sensor

During diagnosis fault codes such as C0475, C0550 and C056D are often read out. These codes usually indicate internal faults in the electric power steering.

A correct solution starts with reading out the fault codes. In many cases refurbishing the steering column is an effective and affordable solution. Weak components are replaced without renewing the entire steering column. Sometimes a software reset, wiring repair or replacement of the EPS unit is necessary.

Problems with the Opel Corsa E power steering are annoying but solvable. Timely diagnosis prevents further damage and ensures the car steers safely and comfortably again. For persistent faults a power steering specialist is highly recommended.
