6C – 36IPOWER STEERING GEAR
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
The flow control actuator is installed on the outlet of the
conventional vein type of the power steering pump. The
actuator modulates fluid flow to the steering gear from the
pump by current control from the SSPS module.
At low speed, small current is supplied to the actuator.
Then the actuator modulates flow high and steering effort
becomes light.
At high speed, On the contrary, big current to the actuator.
Low fluid flow and heavy steering effort.
If there happens an actuator malfunction, by default its
pintle valve opens the orifice 100% to supply light steering
effort.
The maximum pumping pressure with SSPS option is
74.4~81.6 kg/cm2.
If you try to measure voltage at the actuator terminal with
the connector removed, you can measure 6.5V.

The control module is installed on the right side of the au-
dio and can be accessible after the glove box is removed.
It receives signals from the vehicle speed sensor and the
steering wheel rotation sensor and processes them to de-
cide proper fluid flow through the actuator.
It also has a self–diagnosis. If it detects any malfunction,
it starts default mode, which is basically actuator full open
for light steering effort.
