The Grande Punto E.P.S steering system is flawed and prone to either intermittent or total failure.
Common Fault Codes will be;
C1001: Electric Motor Failure
C1002: Steering Column Torque Sensor Failure
Any of these faults will require a replacement column.
Signs that you may notice that may indicate that there is a power steering failure in your Fiat Punto is that the EPS (Electric Power Steering) system fault light may light up the dash as a warning. You may also notice that the steering of the vehicle has become very heavy and hard to manage.
These failures can present themselves in the following ways:
1. Motor failure ,sometimes intermittent to begin with but always leads to terminal failure, due to components within the internal control board inside the motor burning out.
2. E.C.U. Failure, the ECU contains several chips which control the both function of the colmn and also the self test and failure system.One or more of these chips can fail and cause the system to shut down, sometimes the ECU can give an eroneous fault code that appears to be a motor failure if scanned, but is actually a fault of the ECU itself. Importantly the ECU also controls the left/right balance of the column and is used to calibrate the output from the torque/position sensor contained in the column, for this reason the ECU should be matched and calibrated to the torque sensor.
3. Torque and position sensor. This is inbuilt into the centre of the column and gives the ECU information on the position of the steering wheel and also how much assistance is required from the motor.The sensor can go out of balance and steering becomes lighter in one direction,also can fail to give signal ,which will cause ECU to shut system down.When a torque sensor is replaced the column needs to be re-calibrated to ensure it is in balance. We believe the only way to do this is for us to supply a complete column with all components tested and calibrated.
No coding or programming will be required, this unit is simply plug and play.
We have been repairing and reconditioning Fiat Punto electric columns for the last 5 Years.
This auction is for a complete electric power steering column for a Fiat Grande Punto from 2006 onwards, this is the new shape Punto introduced in 2006 with a V.I.N no. begining 199, if you are unsure if this is the correct unit then by all means ring us and we will check your vehicle registration number.
You can also check the part number of the column which is on a white label on the underside of the column, the number should be 55701323.
First a little bit of help and advice that is from our 5 years experience and may help you to solve your problems.
Much has been written on various forums, blogs and even adverts from people claiming to have the last word in the Punto EPS problems, much of it is erroneous, false and sometimes downright misleading.
The Grande Punto electric power steering unit is completely different to all of the older punto models, but still suffers from failures that result in the column having to be changed.
The usual failure is that the unit goes out of balance, resulting in lighter steering in one direction, this is sometimes accompanied by a vibration and an indication of steering failure on the dash.
In order to solve your problem then the electric power steering column needs to be replaced, the unit we supply is callibrated ready to fit to your vehicle.
We can offer to diagnose your Punto EPS failure FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!! by plugging our latest diagnostic/scanner into your vehicle, only takes 5 mins and we can tell you what the problem is.
We have a fully equipped workshop and can offer a fitting service for complete columns at minimal cost, just phone and ask.
