I doubt if the PS has a fuse, more likely a self-resetting circuit breaker.
If there is a fuse or circuit breaker, it will be in one of the fuse boxes,
more likely the one under the hood. There is probably a simple way to
temporarily disable the electronic power steering, but I think I'll let
owners figure it out themselves rather than give instructions on how to
disable what lawyers, safety advocates, politicians, people with limited
automotive knowledge, and people with limited driving skills consider a
safety feature.

I am curious about the type of electric power sterring Toyota is
using...

I had a 2003 Sturn Vue that used an electric motor to supply steering
assistance. I thought they all worked like this. However, on Car Talk
the other day they were mentioned a system that used an electriclly
run hydraulic pump to supply high pressure oil to provide steering
asist. This sounded like a system that would use a convention
hydralically assisted rack and the only difference was how the
hydraulic pressure was supplied. Seemed like a bad idea, but they were
talkinig about it...
