Hello,

I have a 2008 Hyundai Elantra:

I was at the gas station and just filled up my car. I then turned it on and drove about 10' and the EPS light came on. I then stopped and turned off the car and then turned it back on. Everything was fine after that. I then went home and searched around for the power steering reservoir but couldn't locate it. I want to check the level.

Does anyone know where it might be located?

 

Do you know what EPS stands for? It's Electric Power Steering. That means there is an electric motor that provides power to the steering. There is no "power steering reservoir" because there is no power steering fluid. It's electric, not hydraulic.

If the light came on it found a fault. It could just be a steering angle sensor or it could be a problem with the electric motor. If the light went out and hasn't come back on, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it comes on again I'd have the car looked at by a professional mechanic.

One other question, how old is the battery? If it's original then it's close to 7 years old. I'd suggest having it looked at. If it's almost dead it might cause the light to come on. Check the alternator too.

 

Ok thanks for the response.

 

please help me

 

It’s electric it don’t have one it’s run by power shut off car and restart it if it comes back on have your electric motor check
