Description And Operation: Description

MDPS (Electric power steering, Column assist type) system uses an electric motor to assist the steering force and it is an engine operation independent steering system.

MDPS control module controls the motor operation according to information received from the each sensor and CAN (Controller Area Network), resulting in a more precise and timely control of steering assist than conventional engine-driven hydraulic systems.

Components (Torque Sensor, Fail-safe relay, etc.) of the MDPS system are located inside the steering column & MDPS unit assembly and the steering column & MDPS unit assembly must not be disassemble to inspect or replace them.
