Steering Wheel Operation
Courtesy of MITSUBISHI MOTOR SALES OF AMERICA.
- When the steering wheel is operated, the torque sensor integrated into the gear box detects the steering torque and outputs the torque sensor signal (main and sub), which varies with the steering force, to the electric power steering-ECU.
- The electric power steering-ECU outputs the current in proportion to the torque sensor signal to the motor.
- The motor outputs the rotational torque (assist torque) in proportion to the current intensity and assists the power steering gear.
