Module, Electric Power Steering (EPS): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This vehicle features an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. The EPS module is located in a powerpack that contains the motor, module and worm drive on the steering gear assembly. Since the steering system is fully electric - rather than traditional hydraulic - all of the power assist is provided via an electric motor system. This improves fuel economy, since there is no parasitic loss from a power steering pump, and reduces steering system-generated noise, and allows optimal tuning of feedback to the driver.
For the removal of the EPS module and installation. Refer to GEAR, REMOVAL and GEAR, INSTALLATION .
