1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO steering

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Sensing suspension on the Eldorado. These systems control the damping
forces in the shock absorbers and struts, in response to various road and
driving conditions. The systems are capable
of making these damping
changes extremely fast.
A computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration sensors, wheel to
body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive signals. This
computer evaluates the inputs from these sensors, to control the damping\

of each of the struts and shocks independently to provide varied levels of
suspension control.
The system also has the capability
of providing Speed Sensitive Steering
control.
This system changes your steering effort based on your vehicle
speed.
Speed Sensitive Steering
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at
a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased to provide a manual like steering feel for
maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability.

The power rack and pinion steering system,has a rotary spool valve which
directs hydraulic fluid coming from the power steering pump
to one side
or the other side
of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to
the rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure
to a linear force
which moves the rack left or right. The force
is then transmitted through
the inner and outer tie rods to the steering knuckles, which turn the
wheels
If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is maintained. However
under these conditions more steering effort
is required.
