System Outline: Notes

This vehicle is equipped with an Electronically Controlled Power Steering System (ECPS). Depending on the vehicle speed, the ECPS control unit controls the ECPS valve. The ECPS valve changes the P/S fluid pressure of the pressure side of the power cylinder. By controlling the P/S fluid pressure electrically, it made it possible to supply stable P/S fluid pressure to the power cylinder which ensures that the steering feel is not influenced by the fluctuation of the engine's speed, and corresponds to the driving situation.
