The EPS, (Electric Power Steering), light is a warning that there is a possible problem with your power steering system. Get a good mechanic to check the whole system as it could be a mechanical or electrical source to the problem.
First thing to eliminate is a weak battery. Have it checked because if the battery is failing to hold charge or is down on power it will trigger the EPS light on your Swift. ( Many vehicle batteries will only last 3-4 years before giving trouble). If in doubt replace the battery with a new one.
Otherwise, if the light remains on, you will need to have the vehicle scanned to see what fault codes the engine's computer is generating and take it from there. With the EPS warning displayed, there will be fault codes generated.
check all fuse in both fuse boxes.
power sensor?
electronic power steering failure.
you can:
1: get it fixed. (any ASE shop would be happy to help.)
2: read the FSM and learn the tests to find the cause.
3: and scan the PCM to see what EPS failures are happening,
and post those.
or look them up in the FSM to see the tests.
Its the Electronic Power Steering. When it lights up, let the power steering unit be check in a local repair shop.
The other system is hydraulic power steering - which is driven from a pump through a belt system. EPS is driven by the battery / alternator. Low battery or faulty alternator can cause the EPS to stop working properly.
