The eps warning light only comes on sometimes when I first start the car and when it's on, it's when I go from park to drive or park to reverse and it's hard to steer for a few seconds then is normal again

these will require a torque sensor recalibration after replacement of the power steering ECU.
this will require a compatable scanner that has this feature to perform this.
there is a common issue for these having no power steering assist first thing in the morning or after it sits for a bit.
This is usually a weak battery
when the battery is weak it will disable the power steering until the battery restores itself and able to power the steering system
i would recommend checking and possibly replacing the battery first as it is 6 years old and the average life of a battery is 5 years.
let me know how you make out and if i can assist you further i would be happy to help!
