You are asking the wrong question.
First, all Power Steering systems are basically identical. There may be a few minor differences, but the principle is the same; hydraulic pressure is used to assist you as you turn the steering wheel.
The hydraulic pressure comes from a hydraulic pump. In the case of the power steering, it's called a power steering pump. The pump can fail to provide hydraulic pressure if it is
- out of fluid (leaked out somewhere such as the pump seal or one of the hoses)
- the belt is slipping
- the pump is worn or damaged.
If the pump is working, the next part to look at would be the rack and pinion steering assembly.
Once you have verified that the power steering pump works, and that there is sufficient fluid, the rest of the power steering mechanism is inside the rack and pinion. As you turn the steering wheel, a valve opens that allows pressure to help push the steering one way or the other. If any of those parts aren't working, about the only thing to do is to replace the rack & pinion with a rebuilt or new unit.
So, rather than take a shotgun approach to power steering repair, understand that you need to find the problem and replace the failed part. It's the same for all vehicle repair.

What does eps stands for on 2003 Saturn Ion?
On the 2003 Saturn Ion, "EPS" stands for Electric Power Steering.

EPS can also contribute to better fuel economy since it only draws power when needed, unlike hydraulic systems that run continuously.
