Electronic Power Steering Control Module

The control module for the eps system has detected a fault in the system.

Electronic power steering control module.

Usually it becomes especially difficult to turn the car or maneuver it with ease and it becomes nearly impossible to control. Maintenance free and significant weight reductions. An electric power steering module is more than just a circuit board and connectors in an aluminum box. The electronic power steering control unit was designed to help solve a constant problem that occurred with most traditional power steering systems.

Improvement in fuel economy of up to 0 8 l 100 km with electromechanical power steering. Although configurations might vary the basic electric steering system consists of the power steering control module assist motor torque sensor and steering position sensor. That control module will sense the position of the steering wheel note which direction the steering wheel is turning and how fast is is being turned. Dorman power steering control modules are completely remanufactured.

The power steering control module is an integral component of the vehicle s power steering system controlling the electric power steering motor. In some of the affected vehicles the power steering system may revert to manual steering mode due to the power steering control module pscm detecting a motor position sensor fault. The module contains the drivers signal generators and mosfet switches that power and control the electric motor. The module also contains a current monitor circuit that measures the amps the motor is using.

In other configurations the eps module steering torque and steering position sensors can be individually replaced. Reason for this safety recall. Fail operational electronic for high availability and autonomous driving. Electronic power steering is accomplished by placing a motor on the steering column or steering gear and controlling the operation of that motor with you guessed it a control module.

It is essential to follow up with these warning signs as soon as possible to limit the. A process that includes disassembly inspection replacement and testing of critical components. In manual steering mode there is still a mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the road wheels allowing steering control to be maintained. Your vehicle s electronic power steering system eps relies on a computer controlled electric motor to operate the steering rack.

Furthermore the check engine light may come on if the power steering issue is related to the control module or an electrical issue. Flexible mounting positions allow use in all vehicle segments. Under the normal belt driven hydraulic power steering set up a belt was attached to a series of pulleys one at the crankshaft and one on the power steering pump. If you request a diagnostic the responding certified.
