POWER STEERING LIGHT ON THEN OFF THEN ON AGAIN

RANCHER TRX420 EPS LIGHT

A DIRT WHEELS FAN WRITES: “I have a Honda 2014 TRX420 and the power steering light keeps coming on then off then on all the time. I have read the code from the DTC, which was error 18-03 EPS ECU Internal circuit power relay stuck on, and have erased the DTC error successfully as per the instructions in the manual. But the error 18-03 keeps returning. Where can I find this relay so I can test it. My Dealer’s mechanic doesn’t know where it is but suspects it can’t be replaced.” – Darrell Jobson, Carlsbad, CA

OUR PRO ANSWER: Your Dealer’s mechanic can’t find it because it is an electronic relay located inside the ECU and requires an ECU replacement to replace it! Troubleshooting of the ECU will be in the Honda Service Manual available here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vmaw72fmuc2mfw3/6363598-Honda_Rancher_420_At_Service_Manual_Repair_2009-2011_Trx420.pdf. Look at Section #24-21 for the 18-03 code troubleshooting. ECU replacement is at Section #24-32.
