My ride had a power steering failure this morning. The "P/S" red fault light lit and the power assist steering is totally down. Drive with a heavy steering to Riverview for repairs. Mileage clocked only 93,111 Km.
Had to remove whole dash panel to trouble-shoot. Ah Liang says could be a relay fault. Still in a state of uncertainty.
Any Bros & Sis ever had such problem ? Had been driving for 32 yrs, 1st time to such experience of power steering total failure. With DC Motor power assist steering, what a disaster. A hydraulic power assist steering would have symptoms leading to a failure. Not with a DC Motor power assist!
The mechanical says these days, many Toyota power steering fails. Mark X, Estima, etc .... Seems some quality issue.
Hope to have my horse up again soon !

Got the breaking news from mechanic. Confirmed power steering ECU faulty (P/N: 8965052011). No part available. Waiting time about 1 month @ S$7xx. Checked with He Xing, 1 month wait cost S$8xx, 2 months wait cost S$3xx. Excludes labour.
That's the price to pay for a PI car !
Trying to get someone to send part from Japan. Luckily, Riverview manage to temporary repair the ECU (components replacement) but advice to have this replaced.

Can claim warranty? since your car is less than 100K.  |

My ride is already 5 yr old. I do not think any warranty claim.
Manage to get a supplier in Japan to send me the part. Reply below. Reasonable price for a used part and quick delivery.
Hello Derrick – thanks for the inquiry. Yes we can supply the PWRS EPS module for you as pictured. Good used tested item.
Cost = 9,500yen
Freight = 3,000yen (approx 2days from time of sending)
