Mazda 3 Power Steering Check Engine Light

Enid’s Question: My 2006 Mazda 3 was wrecked in the front. They did a lot of body work, and had to replace the power steering. Now the check engine light comes on and they tell me it’s something to do with the power steering system. It steers fine, but that light is bothering me.

Answer: Now realize that your little Mazda has an electrical power steering system. There is no power steering pump and rack. And these electrical steering systems, of course, are computer controlled. When the electrical motor assembly is replaced, the computer must be reprogrammed to set things right. So go to a Mazda dealer and have them reprogram what’s called the “EPHRAS module.” That’s what runs computer controls on the electrical power steering.
