What Causes Intermittent Electronic Power Steering Issues?
1 Answers
Intermittent electronic power steering issues may be caused by excessive air in the power steering system, leading to abnormal vehicle steering, or poor contact in the internal connectors or motor of the electronic power steering system. The advantages of electronic power steering are as follows: 1. High efficiency: Hydraulic power steering systems typically have an efficiency of 60% to 70%, while EPS (Electric Power Steering) systems are more efficient, reaching up to 90% or higher. 2. Better road feel: Traditional hydraulic power steering systems mostly use a fixed amplification ratio, requiring significant driving force, but they cannot achieve both lightness and good road feel at various speeds. The lag characteristics of EPS systems can be compensated for by the EPS controller's software, ensuring satisfactory steering assistance at all speeds. 3. Excellent returnability: The EPS system has a simple structure, making it easy to operate. Additionally, by adjusting the EPS controller's software, optimal returnability can be achieved, improving the vehicle's handling stability and comfort.
