Is there anybody near London who might be able to let me test my EPS control module by switching it with theirs for a couple of minutes? Evenings OK if north or west London, weekends better if elsewhere.
Removal and replacement are fairly straightforward as detailed on page 238 of the service manual here:

I will double check the code but think I can remember investigating a couple of years ago when it stopped working and coming to the conclusion that the ECU might be bad. I didn't have it fixed because I preferred the way the car drove non-assisted. My garage advised at the last MOT that the PAS was not working and said I should get it fixed. Now they've failed it so I have to sort it. Not the end of the world because I'll fit a bypass.
I didn't know though that non-functioning PAS was an MOT failure item, particularly because on the NSX the steering is relatively light without PAS and is easily driveable without assistance (unlike most front engined cars).
