POWER STEERING SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. A rack and pinion type steering gear assembly is used.

    2. A vehicle speed sensing type Electric Power Steering (EPS) system is used.

    3. The EPS system uses a power steering ECU assembly, a reduction mechanism and a power steering torque sensor that are built into the electric power steering column sub-assembly assembly to generate assist torque in order to assist the driver's steering effort.

    4. The EPS system performs control in cooperation with the brake control system. The power steering ECU controls the assist torque for the power steering motor based on the assist torque request sent from the skid control ECU. For details, see the BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS section.
