EPS Control Unit
- EPS control unit (1) is installed to steering column assembly.
- EPS control unit performs an arithmetical operation on data, such as steering wheel turning force (sensor signal) from the torque sensor, vehicle speed signal, etc. Then it generates an optimum assist torque signal to the EPS motor according to the driving condition.
- EPS control unit decreases the output signal to EPS motor during continuous extreme use of the power steering function (e.g., full steering) for protection of the EPS motor and EPS control unit (Overload protection control).
