How to Troubleshoot Electric Power Steering System Failures?
1 Answers
Power steering troubleshooting methods: inspect the steering gear, steering pump control valve, oil cup filter, and steering fluid, then clean the entire power steering system; check other rotating components, and replace the steering pump or steering gear assembly under special circumstances. The following outlines the causes of power steering failures: 1. Overloading of the steering system: causes excessive wear of the stator and rotor inside the steering pump, leading to irregular movement of the oil within the pump; 2. Steering gear failure: loose installation of the steering gear or steering pump on the bracket, internal wear of the steering gear, and improper adjustment of gears and racks.
