How to replace the power steering motor on the Fiat Punto 188

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Electric power steering motor

The defectiveness of the electric power steering, better recognized as city, of the Fiat Punto 188 is a well-known problem but at the same time it is easy to find spare parts and instructions for do-it-yourself repairs; the most common problem concerns the power steering motor and in particular the relays that control its piloting; therefore once a new or overhauled motor has been recovered, the replacement can be done without having to disassemble the steering column: it will be sufficient to remove the hatch on the dashboard that gives access to the OBD socket and the shell under the column; at this point it is easy to access the three fixing pins of the motor and it will be necessary to disconnect the two sockets from the control unit to remove it completely; if the fault concerns the torque and position sensor, the entire steering column will have to be removed and the advice is to install a new and unused sensor.
