My battery started to get weak and would take some effort to start the Sprinter. Thats also when the the ePS code appeared. I changed the battery yet the code remained. I guess I need to get this 2020 van to a shop that can reset the new battery setting and reset the circuit30, ePS. I bought a scanner with MB specifics but it did not reset the new battery charging program and the ePS.
Changed a Hyundai Trajet battery after 12 years. Its now 17 years old. Honda Civic sold on after 8 years with original battery. Toyota Corolla sold on after 9 years with original battery.
I have w212 sallon e220 cdi 2013 with electic power steering. Noticed that wheel started to feel strange. For sure i remember that i were able to steer even with 1 finger and that would be easy. Sometimes it does feel as it should - light to steer, and sometimes again more difficult. No Errors on dash though. Dont know whats the issue. Sometimes starting car and driving for a 10 sec it feels light, after that it goes hard to turn. Should i check fuse for rack ? or battery ? something is definetly not right, and i don't wanna follow local garages advice to replace whole steering rack lol if i can avoid costly repair..
I have a power steering malfunction after a guy changed my differential both batteries are good but the fuse that’s with the auxiliary battery is getting now power to it. Did they leave any connections off or do i need a relay or something? Can you please help
Nice one. So many issues often lead back to batteries. I bought a nice 560SEC from Charlie years ago. Wish I never sold it black on black and like new. 4.5k!! Bargain
Glad you liked the video. I think we all have had a car we wished we hadn't parted with. If you have any video topic ideas you would like to see from us please, leave a comment. Thanks!
@@fixingcars Hi I have got problem with my E class 2017 E350 The power steering malfunction on with loud noise and vibration in the steering wheel and heavy steering wheel. Any idea
I have just got a power steering malfunction along the anti theft warning on the info screen. This and the fact now the car wont select a gear and start. I believe I need a new battery? The car is a Mercedes C300h 2016.
Omg me right now leaving the post office! Steering is not hard. Doesn't feel any different while driving. The warning popped up for 1 second. I just got a new battery 2 yrs ago.
Hai..sir I i have got the same issue with amg e63 2014 model....i cleaned the battery terminal and after that steering got normal....but after two days ....it became hard again....i changed the battery with vatra F17, now the DTC showing are U041500 and C063300... please help
Very informative video, I have another kind of issue with the steering wheel, once I start driving the car, steering wheel is too soft and reactive which feels like I am driving on the ice especially in higher speeds, after an hour of driving, steering wheel returns normal stiffness, would this be due to the battery is about to die as well? Ps. No error on the dash
thank you! The 1st thing I would do is pull codes out of the car with a Mercedes scanner. I would get codes from all modules and see if there are any similar codes across other modules.
So I have a mercedes E class 350 sedan and I drove through water but it was like 4 inches deep and for some reason the steering wheel is hard or like tight to turn but drive reverse park I even drove the car home almost like the only reason it is like that is because of the warning of power steering malfunction everything else sounds great no squeeling no gringing just steering wheel is tight I also unhooked the battery in the front under the hood for 30 min and checked all the fuses then turned the car over and still has warning and wheel still tight please. Help
Hello Debbie, did your car have a power steering failure right after you drove through water? You need to get the car into a competent Mercedes specialist. They need to access all trouble codes. List the codes with descriptions here. The steering unit on this car is on the very bottom of the car, it wouldn’t surprise me if the unit got water in it and possibly failed. Or, hopefully it may have got water in it and popped a fuse?? It must be tested first.
I’m having this problem right now with my Mercedes. thanks for this video
Were you able to fix the problem?
@@fixingcars no. Do you have a email I can reach you at?
@@Crystalnicole500 yes, info@charliesforeigncar.com
Thanks very much indeed.very informative 👍
The power steering malfunction show the reason is dead battery right? once change new battery all back to normal right?
Very well explained

Did you have to use the scan tool to clear the code after changing the battery or was the code automatically reset after starting the car?
Same issue with my car c220 d model so what to do?
