Electronic Power Steering Control Module

The electronic power steering control unit was designed to help solve a constant problem that occurred with most traditional power steering systems.

Electronic power steering control module.

The torque speed and position inputs vehicle speed signal and other inputs are interpreted in the electronic control module. Although configurations might vary the basic electric steering system consists of the power steering control module assist motor torque sensor and steering position sensor. Fail operational electronic for high availability and autonomous driving. 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.

Your vehicle s electronic power steering system eps relies on a computer controlled electric motor to operate the steering rack. A process that includes disassembly inspection replacement and testing of critical components. Furthermore the check engine light may come on if the power steering issue is related to the control module or an electrical issue. The module contains the drivers signal generators and mosfet switches that power and control the electric motor.

In manual steering mode there is still a mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the road wheels allowing steering control to be maintained. 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. Flexible mounting positions allow use in all vehicle segments. The control module for the eps system has detected a fault in the system.

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. Maintenance free and significant weight reductions. Dorman power steering control modules are completely remanufactured. Improvement in fuel economy of up to 0 8 l 100 km with electromechanical power steering.

The module also contains a current monitor circuit that measures the amps the motor is using. An electric power steering module is more than just a circuit board and connectors in an aluminum box. Reason for this safety recall. The steering wheel is referred to as a hand wheel in the service information.

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. Sensors located in the steering column measure two primary driver inputs torque steering effort and steering wheel speed and position. The power steering control module is an integral component of the vehicle s power steering system controlling the electric power steering motor. If you request a diagnostic the responding certified.
