STEERING
1. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The steering system employs an electric power steering (EPS). The EPS system has recently been developed as
an alternative to the hydrostatics power steering system. In this system, an electric motor is used to reduce the power
necessary for steering. As compared with the hydrostatics power steering, the electric power steering has the
following features.
1. Eliminating the need for using a hydraulic pump, it is an electric-power-saving system in which the motor is
energized only when the steering wheel is operated. Therefore it causes no engine power loss, enhancing fuel
economy.
2. Needing no hydraulic pump or tank, it is light and compact.
The three main components of the electric power steering are a power steering assembly, EPS controller and
power steering gear case.
