Electric Power Steering
Description
EPS (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.
EPS 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 (Steering Angle Sensor, Torque Sensor,

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

1. Do not impact the electronic parts, if they are

dropped or impacted, replace them with new ones.
2. Avoid heat and moisture to the electronic parts.
3. Do not contact the connect terminal to avoid
deformation and static electricity.
4. Do not impact the motor and torque sensor parts, if
they are dropped or impacted, replace them with new
ones.
5. The connector should be disconnected or connected
with IG OFF.
