Mitsubishi Galant Fortis Power Steering Malaysia
The Galant Fortis uses an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, which eliminates the need for power steering fluid and a hydraulic pump. This is generally reliable, but on high-mileage units, EPS issues can manifest as increased steering effort, a steering wheel that vibrates, or an EPS warning light on the dashboard. EPS faults are often electrical — check the EPS fuse, battery condition, and scan for EPS fault codes before assuming the steering rack or motor requires replacement.
