Description And Operation: Description: Notes

EPS (Electric Power Steering, Column assist type) system is an engine operation independent steering system that uses an electric motor to assist the steering force.

EPS control module controls the motor operation based on input signals from torque sensor and steering angle sensor via CAN (Controller Area Network), resulting in a more precise and timely control of steering assist that conventional engine-driven hydraulic systems.

Components (Steering Angle Sensor, Torque Sensor, Fail-safe relay, etc.) of the EPS system are located inside the steering column. EPS unit assembly, steering column, and EPS unit assembly must not be disassembled for inspection. They must be replaced if necessary.
