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.

EPS is activated only when the driver steers the steering wheel, thus reducing energy loss compared with the hydraulics. Its modular design allows for easy assembly. EPS consists of motor, electronic control unit (ECU), torque sensor and steering gear.
Our unique control algorithm allows for improved handling.
Compact, light weight.
Capable of controlling motors from 25 to 80A.
Standardized column integrated or stand alone ECU.Basically its a electrically power steering to assist the driver to turn the steering wheel. Check the electronic control unit(ECU) for any short/burnout and the wiring should be pliable. If not then proper amount of current is not reaching the motor.
The light can light up if there a failure of the motor or any sensor is activated when this circuit has any problem.
Get i checked & repaired from their authorized Dealer and also get a service warranty for the part replaced as per norms out there.
However repair immediately otherwse you might find the steering wheel turning in haphazard manner or it could get locked while driving! .........................................sodeep

vauxhall charge 47 pound to look at the car for you sounds like the steering rack but i cant be sure, i would take it to vauxhall cause a backstreet could get it wrong and it would cost you more

I have a 2006 Accent and also to me sometimes the eps light turn on while I'm driving. I turn off the car and wait few seconds before to turn on again. But how to repair this problem?

First you have to check power steering fluid level, and if it's ok then you have to check power steering pump. If you have a EPS light on your dash, then you have to plug a ODBII diagnostic tool to read code and then interpret what the problem is.
SOURCE: What does EPS on the dashboard on a 2003 Suzuki
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.
