Lost Communication with Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Module

Understand U0120, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

Electric power steering module not on the network — steering assist may be lost.

Sintomi comuni

  • Heavy steering
  • EPS warning
  • Stability control affected

Cause tipiche

  • Failed EPAS module
  • CAN wiring to steering rack
  • Low battery
  • Blown EPS fuse

Di quale scanner hai bisogno?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Usa dati live e freeze frame prima di sostituire componenti. I codici ABS, SRS e U richiedono di solito uno scanner full-system.

Consigli diagnostici

  • Registra il freeze frame quando compare il codice
  • Cancella il codice solo dopo aver risolto la causa
  • Controlla codici pending correlati
  • Verifica che la batteria sia sopra 12,4 V prima di sospettare i sensori
