Steering System > Electric Power Steering > Description and Operation
Description
EPS (Electric power steering, Column assist type) system uses an electric motor to assist the steering force and it is an
engine operation independent steering system.
EPS control module controls the motor operation according to information received from the each sensor and CAN
(Controller Area Network),
resulting in a more precise and timely control of steering assist than conventional engine-driven hydraulic
systems.Components (Steering Angle Sensor, Torque Sensor, Fail-safe relay, etc.) of the EPS system are located
inside the steering column & EPS unit assembly and the steering column & EPS unit assembly must not be disassemble
to inspect or replace them.

1. Do not impact the electronic parts, if they are dropped or impacted, replace them with new ones.
2. Avoid heat and moisture to the electronic parts.
3. Do not contact the connect terminal to avoid deformation and static electricity.
4. Do not impact the motor and torque sensor parts, if they are dropped or impacted, replace them with new ones.
5. The connector should be disconnected or connected with IG OFF.

The following symptoms may be occurred during normal vehicle operation and if there is no EPS warning light
illumination, it is not malfunction of EPS system.
• After turning the ignition switch on, the steering wheel becomes heavier while it performs EPS system
diagnostics, for about 2 seconds, then it becomes normal steering condition.
• After turning the ignition switch on or off, EPS relay noise may occur but it is normal.
• When it is steered, while the vehicle is stopped or in low driving speed, motor noise may occur but it is normal
operating one.

Caution when ASP (Absolute Steering Position) calibration or EPS type recognition
• Check if the battery is fully charged before ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
• Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or scan tool during ASP calibration or EPS type
recognition.
• When the ASP calibration or EPS type recognition is completed, turn the ignition switch off and wait for several
seconds, then start the engine to confirm normal operation of the vehicle.

Scan tool (Hi-Scan Pro) installation

1. Attach the CAN interface module to the Hi-Scan Pro main body and securely tighten the two bolts.
2. Install the CAN interface module to the Data Link Cable and securely tighten the two bolts.

ASP calibration procedure

1. Plug DLC cable from a scan tool into the vehicle's data link connector located under the instrument panel on the
driver's side.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON position.
