EPS System Description - Overview
System Outline
This vehicle is equipped with electrical power steering (EPS). The driver's steering force is assisted by an electric motor at the steering column, instead of an engine-driven oil pump to generate oil pressure, so the EPS system improves engine efficiency. The EPS control unit monitors and controls the EPS motor's assisting force to match driving conditions.
Components
The EPS system mainly consists of the following parts:
The EPS control unit, the EPS motor, the torque sensor are combined into the steering column. |
