If the EPS lamp is off, you will want to perform a visual inspection of the mechanical components, such as tires, tie-rod ends, rack bushings, and __ for excessive play or damage. a. Spare tire pressure b. Sway bar end links c. Steering column d. Power steering fluid level

## Step 1<br />The problem is about diagnosing the cause of an off EPS (Electronic Power Steering) lamp. The EPS lamp is a warning light in a vehicle that indicates a problem with the power steering system. When the EPS lamp is off, it means that there is a problem with the power steering system.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The problem provides a list of mechanical components that could be causing the EPS lamp to be off. These include tires, tie-rod ends, rack bushings, and the missing component.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The options provided are: a. Spare tire pressure, b. Sway bar end links, c. Steering column, and d. Power steering fluid level.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The spare tire pressure (option a) is not a mechanical component and does not directly affect the power steering system. The steering column (option c) is a part of the steering system, but it is not typically associated with the EPS system. The power steering fluid level (option d) is important for the power steering system, but it does not directly affect the EPS system.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The sway bar end links (option b) are a part of the suspension system and can affect the power steering system. If the sway bar end links are damaged or have excessive play, they can cause the EPS lamp to be off.
