Hello. I have a problem with electric power steering citroen c3 picasso 2011 1.6 vti. The problem appeared from nowhere, namely while driving the message fault steering appeared and my assistance turned off. I went aside the station, disconnected the battery for 5 min and nothing. Somehow I got...

I understand that it doesn't burn a fuse. Read the errors and you will know what is missing.

Does not burn the fuse. This morning I got to work without a problem ... my colleague suggested that maybe the module got wet during the rain and hence such circuses

You won't even get close to repair without asking the driver.

I am after a visit to the mechanic and it turned out that the computer does not read the driver driver at all .. any suggestions ??

Someone stole them and the tester won't talk to the absentees.

what do I mean by this ... ?? are you kidding yourself or are you somewhere in the mechanic previously occupying the driver but how could the car be flashing without the driver?

Man you think If the controller has no power, how will the diagnosis be with it? If the driver has a problem with the CAN bus, how do you diagnose it? And the controller is probably, look behind the battery, so it's the plastic box in which the battery sits, there it is. You have to look first at the power supply, e.g. fuses in BSM On the other hand, all the support there can already be underneath, under the engine beam, it looks like this: It's raining like hell.

I do not know my absurd questions at all here ... but thank you look with a friend of electromechanics what it has done. Can you regenerate this part or rather not have fun playing such things?

hello I have the same problem you managed to solve it

Sent for regeneration. The cost of PLN 600. Repaired, checked, programmed from scratch and with a guarantee. You put on 2 screws, 3 plugs and a hula.

You have to unscrew it, throw it, bend the heat shield of the exhaust pipe and bend the pipe to the side by force and it will come out. 2 mechanics pressed me that the engine must be pulled out or the sledge should be knocked down.
