ESC systems add software and sensors like yaw, steering angle and even throttle control to keep the vehicle under control. This will release or bleed off the hydraulic pressure that is holding the wheel. Testing Solenoids Electrically Sometimes a stuck or defective solenoid or pump will set a code. The wheel might start to turn.

Electric power steering was once a technology found on exotic rear engine supercars. In the late 1980s, many cars now had wide front tires and it was difficult to route hydraulic lines from the engine bay to the front of the vehicle and the rack. It serves the same function as a spool valve in a hydraulic power steering system.

Electric power steering (EPS) has been around for more than 20 years. What has changed the most is the connection the electric power steering control module has with the vehicle. Many OEMs have issued updates to the software on the ECM and EPS modules to cure engine speed fluctuations. EPS has also improved over the years.
