When the engine is started, the electro-hydraulic
power steering pump sucks in power steering fluid
from the reservoir. The fluid flows through the pump
and is discharged under high pressure from the
outlet. The high-pressure line carries the power
steering fluid to the servo valve.
If no steering effort is applied, there is no resistance
to the circulation of power steering fluid and the
supply pressure from the pump is very low. Only
minimal pressure is applied by the servo valve to
the two sides of the piston in the working cylinder.
When the steering wheel is turned in either
direction, the return flow of fluid to the reservoir is restricted by the servo valve, causing the pressure
to increase on the supply side. The power steering
fluid is directed by the servo valve to the
corresponding side of the piston in the working
cylinder, providing the power assistance required
to reduce the steering effort. The power steering
fluid which is displaced towards the low-pressure
side of the cylinder flows through the servo valve
and the return line back to the reservoir.

NOTE: The power steering pump must be filled
and vented as specified.
The electro-hydraulic power steering pump
comprises a brushless DC motor, the hydraulic
pump and the power steering fluid reservoir.
The hydraulic pump is a gear pump; a resonance
chamber incorporated into the pump body reduces
noise emissions.
The operating pressure is also regulated by means
of a pressure limiting valve which is integrated in
the pump housing. The pressure limiting valve
stabilizes the throughput to the steering gear to a
particular level independently of engine speed.
The pressure relief valve will operate if the
discharge from the pump is restricted, for example, steering held on full lock. If the output from the
pump is blocked, all output is recirculated through
the pump. As no fresh fluid from the reservoir is
drawn into the pump in the process, the
temperature of the power steering fluid in the pump
quickly increases. Consequently, periods of holding
the steering wheel at full lock should be kept to a
minimum to prevent overheating of the pump and
the power steering fluid within it.
The pressure limiting valve limits the pressure on
the outlet side to 120 bar.

The steering angle sensor is a inductive sensor.
The steering angle sensor monitors the steering
wheel position and the rate of turn of the steering
wheel. This information is sent to the power
steering module.
On vehicles built from 09/2009the power steering
module uses the information from the steering angle sensor at the steering column. The required
information is made available to the power steering
module via the CAN bus.
