EPS unit
The EPS unit consists of the following components:
- EPS control unit
- Servomotor with rotor position sensor
The EPS control unit is a component of the electromechanical power steering. The EPS control unit is connected to the vehicle electrical system with 2 plug connections. The steering-torque sensor is connected via another plug connection to the EPS control unit.
Several characteristic curves for power assistance, active steering wheel return as well as damping characteristics are stored in the EPS control unit. The values calculated from the input variables added to each characteristic curve result in the necessary steering servo.
The EPS unit is powered by the engine compartment power distribution box with terminal 30B. The front power distribution box of the passenger's side supplies the EPS control unit with terminal 15N.
The arrangement of the connectors depends on the supplier.
