How Power Steering Works

Electric power steering works through a simple yet modern system which includes an electric motor that assists the steering wheel in turning and a control module that determines the amount of assistance needed based on several factors. For example, when driving at lower speeds, the electric steering system will provide lots of assistance to make steering easy, but at higher speeds, the system will stiffen the steering for a precise driving feel.

How To Identify Issues With Power Steering

Electric steering could experience issues if either the electric steering motor or control module malfunctions. Some typical reasons these components experience issues are age, water damage, or electrical wiring failure. You can quickly identify if a vehicle has issues with its electric steering by simply driving it and staying aware of how much effort is required to turn the steering wheel. Also, a warning light might sometimes appear on the dash, indicating that the power steering system is experiencing issues. Although those problems are not very common for Nissan models, you can sometimes fix the issue by resetting the system.
