Welcome back to CRP Automotive’s “Inside the Brands” series, where we dig into the #diagnostics and solutions that matter most to automotive professionals. In Episode 135, we tackle a common issue affecting #FordFusion sedans made between 2013 and 2016: the #EPS “High Friction” Fault Code.

If you’ve seen the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C102D pop up, indicating “High Friction Inside Power Steering,” this episode is a must-watch for you. But here’s the thing: this fault isn’t always about problems with the EPS system. Surprisingly, it can come from issues with suspension parts or even low tire pressure. Before you start taking things apart, check tire pressure and look for any binding sources.

Join us as we share tips from experienced techs who’ve faced this challenge, often tracing it back to minor collisions like curb impacts. Remember, if you don’t fix the root problem, it will continue to throw the same fault code, no matter how many times the rack is replaced. Our advice? A visual inspection is critical for a successful #repair when dealing with this issue.
