NICHIYU FBT18P

Can somebody help me find solution for hard to steer electric Nichiyu FBT18P. Fuses are okey, but the steering motor is not actuating when you turn steering wheel. Am I replacing EPS Unit or potentiometer? Appreciate your kind reply.

Thank you.

Steering problem is solved as per your recommendation. I replaced the chain and steering function back to normal.

Hello Rex, well if the display doesn't show any error messages it is probably the motor. Please control if the small EPS contactor closes when you switch on the contact. If you have an amp clamp control if there isn't any current on the EPS motor while turning on the steering wheel.
Regards
Marc

Hi Marc, model is (FBT18P-65Series). No error message shown on the display, but the unit is driving & hydraulics are working too.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
