The first thing to do is to scan the car as it will tell you the faulty component. I suggest the Suzuki agent rather than any other place. I think its likely its an ABS sensor which is faulty. If thats the case its a relatively cheap repair.

Just drive for few kms if it dosen't go away

try to reset it may be remove the battery and reconnect,

If not go to the suzuki agents, it's essentially a suzuki swift inside

Did you not feel anything weird with the steering?

and DON you probably have read EPS as ABS?

Hmm I think I migt have gotten it wrong, I interpretted EPS Electronic Stability program, but from what you say it sounds like it stands for Electronic Power Steering? The thing is I thought the HT51S had hydraulic power steering not electronic.

If if is the electronic stability program, my comment is valid because it uses ABS sensors as wheel speed sensors, so when they are faulty it sometimes reports faults with one or the other.

Bit of a dumb question, while on the subject of electronic power steering, is there no maintenance involved with this component? Any preventative maintenance one can do?

Thanks all for quick replies..

@ the Don : Its "Electronic Power Steering" . and there is a ABS indicator separately as well.. but thing is it is not indicating always...yesterday i had about 10 km drive

and it was not there.. Ya better i have a check with A*W..thanks..

@ASROCK : I dont feel anything difference with steering.

@ Clark's son : I didnt have long run with that light on..indicator disappeared last time only when the engine was restarted..anyway I will remove the battery and reconnect but tell me whats the reason you ask to do so?

Guys shall i wait for some days or go for the check immediately? thing is it started about three days back and not happening always.. my worry is one of my friends said he had

the same issue with suzuki swift and was travelling on the highway with that light on the vehicle was stucked in the middle of the road but was ok after engine was restarted. he said it cost 15K to replace two sensors at suzuki Agents

Thanks again.

I think best to do a quick inspection at your local mechanic at the very least. A scan will probably reveal a stored error code so that might shed further light on the issue. Its a lot easier to diagnose if the light is permanently on.
