Module, Electric Power Steering (EPSM): Description

This vehicle features an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. The EPS module is located in a powerpack that contains the motor, module and worm drive on the steering gear assembly. Since the steering system is fully electric - rather than traditional hydraulic - all of the power assist is provided via an electric motor system. This improves fuel economy, since there is no parasitic loss from a power steering pump, and reduces steering system-generated noise, and allows optimal tuning of feedback to the driver.

NOTE:

All diagnostics must be done through the electric power steering module for the electric power steering system. There are no serviceable parts inside the steering rack, module or EPS motor. If any part is found to be defective or needs replacement, motor, and module are serviced as a assembly.

For the removal of the EPS module and installation. Refer to GEAR, REMOVAL and Refer to GEAR, INSTALLATION .
