Steering System: Description
Electric Power Steering (EPS) is standard equipment and it is the only steering system available. The EPS system consists of these major components:
- Rack and pinion steering gear with EPS assist
- Steering column
- Inner and outer tie rod ends
NOTE:
The EPS system is a dry gear system. The EPS system does not contain any hydraulic components such as:
- Belt-driven hydraulic pump
- High-pressure hydraulic hoses
- Power steering fluid
The EPS system will not experience a hydraulic leak. If fluid is detected at the front of the vehicle, on or near the steering gear, investigate other systems.
