Electronic Power Steering (EPS) Failure and Repair
Citroën C3 Picasso and Peugeot 207 models, spanning years 2006 to 2013, often suffer from a complete loss of power-assisted steering. These failures typically start as intermittent issues but can rapidly progress to a permanent problem. Without power steering assistance, manoeuvring the vehicle becomes extremely challenging, particularly during tasks like parking.
Common Faults Codes:
- C1414 – ESP Motor Failure
- C1404 – Electric Power Steering Control Fault
- P0606 – Internal Fault
Common Faults:
- Complete loss of power assisted steering
- EPS light on
When the EPS (Electric Power Steering) unit in these models fails, the dashboard will display a power steering warning light. Diagnostic scans often reveal fault codes such as P0606 (Internal Fault), C1404 (Electric Power Steering Control Fault), or C1414 (Power Steering Motor Internal Fault). These issues stem from internal component breakdowns in the EPS module, which means they will persist until properly repaired.
Faced with heavy steering and warning lights, many opt for a costly new replacement part from the manufacturer. However, these parts come with only a short one-year warranty and are prone to fail again, often outside the warranty period. This is because the root issue remains unresolved at the production level.
Both the Peugeot 207 and Citroën C3 Picasso use the same EPS module, exposing a significant number of vehicles to this inherent fault. With high demand for replacement parts, opting for a robust repair service is a more reliable and cost-effective solution.
