SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. DESCRIPTION

* The power steering system generates torque through the operation of the motor and the reduction gear installed on the column shaft in order to assist steering effort.

* The power steering ECU determines directions and the amount of assisting power in accordance with vehicle speed signals and signals from the torque sensor built into the steering column assembly. As a result, the power steering ECU adjusts the steering effort so that it is lighter during low speed driving and heavier during high speed driving.
