Hi there. When the electronic power steering light illuminates on the dashboard, it indicates that the ECU has detected a trouble code relative to that system. It could be as simple as the connection being loose, or the sensor being damaged; especially if you’re not experiencing any physical driving issues. However, you might want to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location complete a service light inspection to determine what is causing the light and recommend any repairs.
