An electronic power steering (EPS) system is being discussed. Technician A says if the engine stalls and the ignition switch is on, the EPS remains operational. Technician B says if the steering wheel is turned and held fully in one direction, the power module reduces current flow through the steering gear motor to prevent motor overheating. Who is correct?

Question

Technician A is correct as EPS systems use electric power to assist with steering, so even if the engine stalls, the EPS system will still have power from the battery. 
Technician B is correct as in order to prevent overheating of the steering gear motor, the power module may reduce current flow when the steering wheel is turned and held fully in one direction. Therefore, both technicians are correct.
