13-11 4620-01 4) System Control ECPS system, according to the vehicle speed, enables to achieve proper steering characteristics by controlling hydraulic pressure to reaction plunger located in input shaft of power steering gear box. In other words, ECPS control unit enhances the parking conveniences by controlling duty type current control. It provides heavy steerability with low current as the vehicle speed increases. And, it provides light steerability with high current as the vehicle speed decreases. ▶During parking and low speed driving During parking and driving in low speed, the control unit supplies approx. 1 A of electric current to solenoid valve. Then, the spool located in PCV compresses the upper spring and elevates upward and, the working pressure from oil pump (A port) is not able to flow to the reaction plunger (C port). As a result, the pressing force from reaction plunger disappears and the steerability enhances. |
