Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The power steering control module (PSCM) continuously monitors the motor rotational sensor sinusoidal voltage signals. The sinusoidal voltage signals of the motor rotational sensor and the angle difference between the steering output and input shafts detected by the torque sensor are both processed by the PSCM to detect and calculate the steering wheel angle.
