Yes, high temperatures can impact EPS performance:

EPS motors and ECUs can overheat in cities like Multan o r Hyderabad.

Over time, heat weakens:

Motor windings

Sensor reliability

EPS fuse o r relay

➡️ In extreme heat, temporary stiffness o r complete failure can occur, especially if cooling airflow is poor under the dashboard.
