System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005931225
• EPS control unit performs an arithmetical operation on data, such as steering wheel turning force (sensor
signal) from the torque sensor, vehicle speed signal, etc. Then it generates an optimum assist torque signal
to the EPS motor according to the driving condition.
• EPS control unit decreases the output signal to EPS mo tor while extremely using the power steering func-
tion (e.g., full steering) consecutively for protec ting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Overload protection
control). While activating overload protection control, the assist torque gradually decreases, and the steering
wheel turning force becomes heavy. The normal assist torque reactivates by no steering.
• In case of an error in the electrical system, the fail- safe function stops output signals to the EPS motor. Then
the previous state is changed to the manual steering state.
• Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-III.
• EPS control unit will decrease assistance under the following 2 conditions.
- Extensive steering at low speed will cause the ECU and MOTOR to heat up, once temperature reaches crit-
ical point ECU will reduce current to reduce heat up. System will recover as temperature lowers (reduced or
no assistance).
- Holding steering on rack-end (full lock) for 1 second will cause the system to engage rack-end protection. This reduces assistance down to 50% in order to prevent heat up. Assistance is immediately returned to
100% when steering released or turned away from rack-end.
- Communicates the signal from each control unit via CAN communication.
