Torque Sensor Operation

When the steering wheel is turned, inductance is changed by the movement of the core within the Torque Sensor. The amount this voltage changes varies with the amount of movement, and direction of the core, then it is amplified by the interface circuitry of the sensor coil and output to the EPS control unit as a steering signal.
