C1005 Fiat Punto Electric Power Steering - Common Fault
Fiat Punto vehicles manufactured between 1999 to 2011 are prone to the failure of their electronic power steering motor, or EPS. This fault results in the intermittent loss of power steering, and even a complete failure of the unit, which is unfortunately a common occurrence for many Fiat owners.
EPS Fault Codes
Diagnostic equipment can assist in identifying the stored fault codes for the Fiat Punto C1005 and C1006 – Steering Column Motor Torque Position Sensor, along with C1007 – Power Steering Fault, both indicating a malfunction with the power steering motor.
