Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
System Outline: Notes
This vehicle is equipped with electrical power steering (EPS). The driver's steering force is assisted by an electric motor at the steering gearbox instead of an engine-driven oil pump to generate oil pressure, so the EPS system improves engine efficiency.
The EPS control unit monitors and controls the EPS motor's assisting force to match driving conditions.
- Low vehicle speeds: High power assist (for easy handling)
- High speed driving: Low power assist (for stable driving)
- Low speed to high speed driving: Variable assist that can change smoothly from high assist to low assist
