Heavy Duty AGM Battery (30Ah)
The EPS motor is the highest current-drawing component on the vehicle. At low speeds, steering resistance is highest, and if the battery's internal resistance has increased due to age, the resulting voltage drop during high-amp draw trips the EPS module's undervoltage protection. Replacing the battery ensures the system maintains the necessary voltage buffer to sustain high-torque motor operation.

EPS Actuator Assembly
Internal failure of the EPS brushless motor or the integrated torque sensor can cause intermittent shut-offs when maximum assist is requested. Over time, the internal planetary gears or the sensor's calibration can drift, leading to 'growling' or a safety cutout when the unit cannot match the driver's steering input torque against the resistance of the wheels.

Hall Effect Speed Sensor
The EPS controller uses vehicle speed data to calculate the 'Assist Map' (providing more assistance at low speeds and less at high speeds). If the speed sensor fails or provides a noisy signal at low RPMs, the EPS module may lose its reference point and enter a fail-safe 'manual' mode to prevent erratic or over-boosted steering behavior.
