What is the EPS fault?
1 Answers
EPS is the electronic power steering warning light, indicating a fault in the electric power steering system. Its function is to use the power generated by the motor to assist the driver in power steering. The main components of the EPS system include the steering sensor, speed sensor, power assist mechanism, steering assist motor, and microcomputer control unit. The working principle of the electric power steering system is that the torque sensor is connected to the steering shaft. When the steering shaft rotates, the torque sensor starts working, and the relative angular displacement between the input shaft and output shaft caused by the torsion bar is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the ECU. The ECU determines the rotation direction of the motor and the magnitude of the assist current based on signals from the speed sensor and torque sensor, completing real-time control of the power steering.
