Advice on power steering (electric)
Hi. I have an 09 (40k miles) Yaris and the power steering has just started playing up. Suddenly kicked out, luckily while manoeuvring on my drive. Left it an hour and the P/S light went out. Don’t fancy the problem happening when on doing 70. Any advice on sourcing and sorting the fault?
Thanks |

Confirm good battery...one of these cars in normal tune will start and run fine on a laughably weak battery.

Many thanks for the advice. Have tested the battery with a load meter and it is on the top end of good. Its about 14 months old and the car is used as a local runabout. This means lots of stops and starts. The car has had a history of eating batteries but mainly when used less frequent. The proplem has not reoccured but it's now more a matter of can I trust it particularly when my wife is driving it.
