What is the reason for the power steering light coming on and disappearing after a restart?
1 Answers
The power steering system warning light may illuminate due to faults in the steering system sensor, steering gear, or power steering pump. Below is a detailed introduction to the automotive power steering system: 1. Function: It utilizes the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in steering. This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for components such as a hydraulic power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, transmission belts, and pulleys mounted on the engine, thereby saving energy and protecting the environment. 2. Composition: The automotive power steering system can improve vehicle stability. When the vehicle shows signs of instability, the electronic power steering system can independently brake each wheel and coordinate with the engine management system to ensure driving safety. The automotive power steering system mainly consists of a speed sensor, reduction mechanism, torque sensor, electric motor, and electronic control unit.
