Description and Operation Procedure revision date: 08/22/2012
Power Steering - Overview
Overview
The EPAS system provides steering assist to the driver by replacing the conventional hydraulic valve system with
a steering gear equipped with an integrated electrical motor and PSCM. The motor operation and level of steering
assist provided is controlled by the PSCM.

Vehicle speed PCM This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Used to
determine the level of assist supplied to the steering gear.
Vehicle yaw rate ABS Used by the PSCM for steering assist calculations.
Wheel speed ABS Used to determine the level of assist supplied to the steering gear and to
data validate the steering wheel component angle by comparing the rotational
speeds of each wheel. The difference in the speed of each wheel is used to
derive a steering angle for comparison against the absolute steering angle
message from the SASM.
EPAS System
The PSCM controls the functions of the EPAS system and communicates with other modules over the HS-CAN2.
To activate, the EPAS system requires battery voltage and ignition voltage at the PSCM, the PSCM must
communicate with other modules over the HS-CAN2 and the PSCM must receive the power pack status message
from the PCM.
The main input for calculating the level of EPAS assist is the steering torque sensor signal (internal to the PSCM).
Vehicle speed is also taken into consideration in order to achieve the vehicle speed dependent steering assist
characteristic.
The EPAS gear uses an electric, reversible motor to apply the steering assist by moving the rack inside the
steering gear. The motor is connected to the rack of the steering gear by a toothed belt and pulley-bearing
assembly.
The PSCM continually monitors and adjusts steering efforts based on the steering torque sensor signal, motor
position and HS-CAN2 inputs to enhance the feel of the steering system. As vehicle speed increases, the amount
of assist decreases to improve and enhance road feel at the steering wheel. As vehicle speed decreases, the
amount of assist increases to ease vehicle maneuvering. Compensation is made to reduce the effect of pull or
drift experienced when driving on roads with a high degree of camber. Compensation is also made for the impact
of wheel imbalance on steering feel, up to a predetermined threshold.
The steering torque sensor senses the torque at the steering wheel. It is integrated into the PSCM and works by
measuring the relative rotation between an input and output shaft which are connected by a torsion bar. The
steering torque sensor sends out 2 PWM signals which allows a channel to channel cross-check and an accurate
correction of the neutral point.
The PSCM is self-monitoring and is capable of setting and storing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Depending
on the DTC set, the PSCM may enter a failure mode. In addition, the PSCM may send a request to the IPC to
display a message in the message center, alerting the driver of a potential EPAS concern. The warning message
is sent over the HS-CAN2 to the GWM which relays the message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3.
Failure Modes
When a DTC is present in the PSCM, the EPAS enters 1 of 2 modes of operation.
The EPAS enters a reduced steering assist mode to protect the internal components of the EPAS when a
non-critical safety concern is detected by the PSCM, concerns such as a loss of the vehicle speed message, low
battery voltage, high battery voltage or an over-temperature condition are considered non-critical safety concerns.
This reduced steering assist mode gives the steering operation a heavier than normal feel.
The EPAS enters a manual steering mode (no electrical steering assistance is provided) when a concern
cardiagn.com
considered to be a critical safety concern is detected. In manual steering mode, the vehicle has mechanical
steering only which gives the steering operation a heavy feel.
Selectable Steering
The selectable steering button on the FCIM allows the driver to select 1 of 3 steering modes. These steering
modes alter the feel and response of the EPAS system. After a selection is made, a soft feedback bump may be
felt in the steering wheel. Pressing the switch causes the FCIM to send a message to the IPC and the PSCM.
The IPC displays the current mode in the message center and the PSCM modifies EPAS operation according to
the selected steering mode.
Normal: Default system setting. The system defaults to standard mode if the battery is disconnected.
Sport: Slightly higher effort required for steering with more road feel through the steering wheel.
Comfort: Slightly less effort required for steering with less road feel through the steering wheel.
If the vehicle is equipped with the selectable drive mode feature, the steering feel changes when a new drive
mode is selected. This automatic selection can be overridden by using the selectable steering button. For
additional information on the selectable drive mode feature,
Refer to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description
(206-09 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control, Description and Operation).
Component Description
EPAS Steering Gear
The EPAS gear is an assembly consisting of a PSCM, a motor, and a steering torque sensor, all of which are
serviced as an assembly. The inner and outer tie rods and the steering gear bellows boots are available
separately for service.
The steering torque sensor is mounted near the input shaft of the EPAS gear and is used by the PSCM to
determine how much force is being used to turn the steering wheel.
The EPAS gear has one inner tie rod located at each end of the gear assembly and is available separately
for service.
The EPAS gear has one outer tie rod located at each end of the gear assembly and is available separately
for service.
The EPAS gear has one bellows boot located at each side of the EPAS gear assembly. Each boot is held
in place with 2 boot clamps. The boots and clamps are available for service.
PSCM
The PSCM is the ECU for the EPAS system. The module monitors all sensor inputs and HS-CAN2 messages
relating to the EPAS system and directly controls the output of the EPAS motor.
