Electronic Power Steering Control Module

The torque speed and position inputs vehicle speed signal and other inputs are interpreted in the electronic control module.

Electronic power steering control module.

Your vehicle s electronic power steering system eps relies on a computer controlled electric motor to operate the steering rack. 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. The steering wheel is referred to as a hand wheel in the service information. Although configurations might vary the basic electric steering system consists of the power steering control module assist motor torque sensor and steering position sensor.

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. Reason for this safety recall. An electric power steering module is more than just a circuit board and connectors in an aluminum box.

Furthermore the check engine light may come on if the power steering issue is related to the control module or an electrical issue. Sensors located in the steering column measure two primary driver inputs torque steering effort and steering wheel speed and position. The control module for the eps system has detected a fault in the system. 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.

Dorman power steering control modules are completely remanufactured. A process that includes disassembly inspection replacement and testing of critical components. The module contains the drivers signal generators and mosfet switches that power and control the electric motor. Fail operational electronic for high availability and autonomous driving.

In manual steering mode there is still a mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the road wheels allowing steering control to be maintained. In other configurations the eps module steering torque and steering position sensors can be individually replaced. Flexible mounting positions allow use in all vehicle segments. Maintenance free and significant weight reductions.

The electronic power steering control unit was designed to help solve a constant problem that occurred with most traditional power steering systems. 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. Usually it becomes especially difficult to turn the car or maneuver it with ease and it becomes nearly impossible to control.
