Steering, Electrical Power Steering Module (EPS)

The power steering system employs the electro-hydraulic principle and is controlled by the electric power steering module (EPS).

Its task is to regulate the power steering affect for the vehicle optimally, using relevant input signals, and always to provide optimum servo assistance, regardless of whether the vehicle is stationary with the engine running or being driven at high speed.

The pump is a gear type pump.

The pump motor is controlled by the electric power steering module (EPS). The pump motor has Hall sensors, which inform the electric power steering module (EPS) about the present pump motor speed. At the same time, information is provided about the relevant hydraulic pressure, which is indirectly dependent on the speed.
