Module, Electric Power Steering: Description: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Charger and 2015 Dodge Charger. 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.

NOTE:

All diagnostics must be done through the electric power steering module for the electric power steering system. Refer to the appropriate Diagnostics & Testing article. There are no serviceable parts inside the steering rack, module or EPS motor. If any part is found to be defective or needs replacement, motor, and module are serviced as a assembly.

For the removal and installation of the EPS module. Refer to GEAR, REMOVAL and GEAR, INSTALLATION .
