NSX EPS failure

[mustdav]

I have just been through the Above saga and want to ensure others dont have the same experience. I took my car to Honda at Bristol and for £100 was told that to get my power steering working again it would cost me £1500........................
So I went to the web and here is my story.
1. I believe the fault can register as more than one code but mine was code 22.
2. I then visited http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/testvb/showthread.php?t=7051&highlight=power+steering+light which identified the cause
3. I then followed http://nsxe-repair.com/FW-removal.html for the removal of the offending Board.
4. Went to RS components online & ordered 2 X part No:2509650948 costing £2.92 each + vat & handling - This is the original relay cos I dont know the exact part No for the better rated relay that others talk about.
5. Tried to remove the first relay myself and made an a--e of it, so went to a local electronics engineering company who fixed my bodge and replaced both relays for £25. He also mentioned that the trick is to use 2 people with 2 soldering irons to remove the old one correctly.
6. I reinstalled it in the car & low & behold it all worked and I had saved the magnificent sum of £1456.. not bad for a couple of hours work...

Great stuff!
I have a '91 and the EPS computer failed on me in the early in '01 but there were no information on the net. re repairs. So the dealer replaced the whole module. Then a few years back, the steering rack gave and only way was to replace with a new rack whcih would be $$$. I was fortunate to source an older unit and been OK since.
Now there are source to re-build the EPS module which would be a great saving. Also found technicans at dealer are not at all familiarised with NSX repairs anymore. The car is too old and most of them left years ago.
I now service the car at an independent and try to source major parts direct from the States.

Mustdav, would you describe the symptoms that you were experiencing on your steering rack?
