Electric Power Steering

Hi guys,

does anyone know if the EPAS runs when the car is just on 'IG' rather than running?
or does the engine have to be running in order to use the epas?

cheers.

engine needs to be running - it draws too much current otherwise

aye thats what i assumed, cheers chaps!

i'm just drawing out the diag's for my car, i'll trigger it off the fuel pump relay if thats the case.

FIAT panda's however are active when key is in 'ignition' position! - how random!
