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 torque sensor's input and output shaft sinusoidal voltage signals. As the steering wheel is turned and torsional twist is applied to the steering shaft, the torque sensor's input and output shaft sinusoidal voltage signals are processed by the PSCM to detect and calculate the steering torque.
