BMW Steering Wheel Warning Light What To Do
When It Turns On?
2
Nothing is more frustrating than a flashing
steering wheel warning light.
3
There are several things that can turn this
warning indicator on.
4
In this presentation we will discuss some of them.
5
Let's begin by discussing a few interesting
facts about car steering systems.
6
A Short Note On Car Steering System
7
Steering system helps the driver to control the
direction and movement of the vehicle.
8
Steering systems have become more efficient and
responsive over time.
9
Particularly since the invention of power
steering devices.
10
Power steering system is of the following types

• Electric power steering system
• Hydraulic power steering system
• Hybrid

Steering Wheel Warning Light Illumination Causes
12
Vehicles With The Hydraulic Power Steering System
13
?Low Fluid Level
14
Hydraulic fluid essentially establishes a link
between the steering and front wheels.
15
If its level drops, the power steering system
will become unresponsive.
16
This may prompt the onboard computer to turn on
the steering warning light.
17
The Pump Is Defective
18
The pump is the centerpiece of a vehicles power
steering system.
19
Fault in a part of such importance can also
activate the steering wheel light.
20
Vehicles With The Electric Power Steering System
21
?Faulty Motor
22
Vehicles with an electric power steering system
(EPS) come fitted with a motor.
23
This motor, when energized, enhances torque
applied to the steering wheel.
24
If it malfunctions, the responsiveness of the
power steering system will decrease.
25
And, the power steering warning light may come on
as a result.
26
?Failing Sensors
27
To make steering easy, EPS deploys an electric
motor.
28
And, to function properly, the motor relies on a
controller and a bunch of sensors.
29
Fault in either of them can bring down the power
steering system.
30
Bottom Line
31
If your vehicles power steering warning light is
on, dont take it lightly.
32
You have to do something about it.
