Wow, from the reply on this question I learned something new about electric power steering, now I learned that in addition to the electric motor and the steering wheel position sensor I learned that there is also an electric power steering control module, a module is just a plastic green silicon plate with integrated circuits and power transistors that feeds electricity to the fuel injector electromagnetic coils that magnetize the fuel injector needle valve armatures and needle valves and to the various sensors that open the needle valves, but until I read the above reply I didn't know that the plastic green silicon plate also feeds electricity to the electric power steering motor, earlier I had submitted a question about electric power steering because I knew about the motor and the steering wheel sensor but I didn't know whether electric power steering still had a rack and pinion steering gear unit and tie rod ends and I was told that it still has a rack and pinion steering gear unit and tie rod ends but until I read the above reply I didn't know that it also had an electric power steering control module or silicon plate, I had asked about a repair estimate for an electric power steering unit and I was given a $1,500 dollar estimate including $1,100 dollars for the parts and close to three hours for the labor, I am sorry this person can't afford to make payments on an astronomically priced $22,000 dollar new Nissan Versa but this reply was very informative and very educational, good luck to the person who owns the 2010 Nissan Versa and I thought that if an electric power steering failed then it would have just taken more effort to turn the steering wheel like it did in older cars when they ran out of power steering fluid, I didn't know that the bad electric power steering would have prevented the car from starting up, it was a very educational reply and thank you auto mechanic for the information.
