Hyundai Accent: Description and Operation
Hyundai Accent RB (2010-2018) Service Manual / Steering System / Electric Power Steering / Description and Operation
Description
EPS (Electric power steering, Column assist type) system uses an electric
motor to assist the steering force and it is an engine operation independent
steering system.
EPS control module controls the motor operation according to information
received from the each sensor and CAN (Controller Area Network),
resulting in a more precise and timely control of steering assist than
conventional engine-driven hydraulic systems.Components (Steering Angle Sensor,
Torque Sensor, Fail-safe relay, etc.) of the EPS system are located inside the
steering column & EPS unit assembly and the steering column & EPS unit assembly
must not be disassemble to inspect or replace them.

Drop, impact, and overload |
Motor |
Abnormal noise |
- Visable or unvisable damage can occur.The steering wheel could pull
to one side by using the dropped parts.- Precise parts of motor/ECU are
sensitive to vibration and impact.- Overload can cause unexpected damage |
- Do not use the impacted EPS.- Do not overload each parts. |
|
ECU |
Circuit damage- Wrong welding point- Broken PCB- Damaged precise parts |

Torque sensor |
Insufficient steering effort |
Overload to INPUT shaft can cause malfunction of the torque sensor |
- Do not impact the connecting parts (When inserting and torquing)-
Use the specified tool to remove the steering wheel. (Do not hammer on it)-
Do not use the impacted EPS |

Shaft |
Insufficient steering effort (Uneven between LH and RH) |
|
Do not use the impacted EPS |
|

Pull/Dent |
Harness |
- Malfunction-impossible power operation- Malfunction of EPS |
Disconnection between harness connecting portion and harness |
Do not overload the harness |
|
Abnormal storage temperature |
Motor/ECU |
Abnormal steering effort by improper operation of the motor/ECU |
- Waterproof at the normal condition- Even a little moisture can cause
malfunction of the precise parts of the motor/ECU |
- Keep the normal temperature and proper moisture, while storaging-
Avoid drowning |
1. Do not impact the electronic parts, if they are dropped or impacted,
replace them with new ones.
2. Avoid heat and moisture to the electronic parts.
3. Do not contact the connect terminal to avoid deformation and static
electricity.
4. Do not impact the motor and torque sensor parts, if they are dropped
or impacted, replace them with new ones.
5. The connector should be disconnected or connected with IG OFF.
