My 2004 TOYOTA avensis with electric power steering. The power steering light just showed and the steering became stiff. I was told by a local mechanic that it's a fault from the power steering brain box.

Have you checked the fluid level?

Check the alternator charging rate and battery , if faulty it affects EPS

The model doesn't use fluid. It's electric.

Pretty sure it's electric but still uses fluid.

Some EHPS units did have a little fluid but apparently this one does not , like some similar other makes who use same set up .
