★ Top Answer
The Mazda CX5 utilizes an EPS steering system instead of power steering fluid. This system operates using a bi-directional brushless motor and sensor to assist with steering and does not rely on any fluids for wheel movement. The motor is located beneath the driver's feet on the steering column, and to access it, you'll need to remove the steering wheel molding. Replacing the electric motor can cost between $80 and $120, depending on whether you choose an OEM or aftermarket part. The installation process is straightforward, but you'll need to connect the motor to the wiring harness before fitting it. If you opt to have a dealership or mechanic handle the replacement, the total cost could range from $300 to $500, factoring in both parts and labor expenses.
