• The electric power steering system has: Electrical failure Motor failure Electronic control unit (ECU) failure Sensor failure Mechanical failure Environmental factors Improper maintenance

  • When the system fails, steering wheel operation becomes extremely difficult, especially when driving at low speeds or parking. This is because without the hydraulic power assistance, the driver needs to rely entirely on their own strength to turn the steering wheel, and without the help of the hydraulic system, the amount of force required to turn the steering wheel may increase significantly.

  • Amber or light yellow power steering fluid is usually a mineral oil-based power steering fluid. This fluid is usually a clear light yellow or light amber color when new, and it may gradually darken to a darker amber or brown color over time.

  • The launch of the power steering system is an important part of its innovation history. General Motors officially launched the power steering system in 1951, and it was first used in some models of the Cadillac brand.

  • Whether a car is equipped with power steering depends on many factors, including the type of car, the nature of the competition, and the needs and preferences of the drivers. Although power steering can reduce driver fatigue and improve handling stability, it can also increase the weight and complexity of the vehicle and reduce steering feedback.

  • The answer is yes, the electric power steering system is indeed equipped with a fuse. In fact, most electronic systems in modern cars, including EPS, have dedicated fuses or relays. The main function of the fuse is to protect the circuit from damage to the system due to excessive current or circuit short circuit.

  • Chevrolet officially launched the power steering system in 1953. This time point is of great significance, marking an important step for Chevrolet in technological innovation. In 1953, Chevrolet's representative model, the Chevrolet Corvette, was launched as the brand's first two-seater sports car.

  • some manufacturers recommend replacing the steering fluid every two years or every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Owners should first refer to the recommendations in the vehicle manual and follow their instructions for replacement.

  • Advantages of hydraulic power steering system: Provides stable and powerful steering assistance Sensitive feedback and precise control Strong adaptability, suitable for a variety of vehicles High stability and reliability Relatively low cost Disadvantages of hydraulic power steering system: Low fuel efficiency Large volume and increased weight Complex maintenance and many vulnerable parts Inferior control feel to mechanical steering High noise

  • Signs that you need power steering fluid include: 1. Steering wheel becomes heavy 2. Steering wheel makes strange noises 3. Steering wheel is slow to return to center 4. Check fluid level indicator 5. Steering wheel vibrations 6. Hydraulic fluid deterioration 7. Fluid leakage 8. Decreased steering performance
