GF46.50-P-5140RT SPS (PML) Solenoid Valve, Component Description

GF46.50-P-5140RT SPS [PML] solenoid valve, component description
- up to model year 08

Component Identification:

Task
The SPS solenoid valve serves the control of the steering wheel torque in the speed range of v = 0 km/h to v = 100 km/h.

Design
The SPS solenoid valve is a current-controlled proportioning valve.

Function
The electronics for the actuation of the SPS [PML] solenoid valve is integrated in the ESP control unit (N47-5). The SPS [PML] solenoid valve is actuated pulsed. As the vehicle speed increases the current flow decreases and the SPS [PML] solenoid valve opens the control valve as per a characteristic defined in the ESP control unit.

This regulates the oil flow and thus the torque to be applied to the steering wheel. The control valve is closed if the SPS [PML] solenoid valve is actuated with the maximum current (v = 0 km/h) No oil flows and the minimum steering wheel torque is set (situation for parking).
