Electronic Power Steering System - System Description

The EPS system generates assist torque to assist steering effort through the operation of the motor installed on the power steering gear assembly.


The direction and amount of power assistance are determined by signals from the torque sensor, and controlled in accordance with vehicle speed. As a result, steering effort is controlled to be light during low speed driving and moderately high during high speed driving.

Power Steering System - Precaution

The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as airbags. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing. This may cause a serious accident.


Before servicing (including inspection, replacement, removal and installation of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notices for the Supplemental Restraint System .
