EPS Control Unit Operation: Notes
The EPS control unit controls the EPS motor by these signals:
- Vehicle speed signal (for ECM/PCM)
- Engine speed signal (for ECM/PCM)
- EPS motor angle sensor signal
- Torque sensor signal
At idle or low vehicle speeds, the EPS control unit sends a signal to the ECM/PCM to increase the engine idle speed to prevent the engine from stalling.
If the EPS control unit detects a failure in the system, it stores a DTC, and sends a signal to the gauge control.
