5.6 Electric power steering
(EPS)
The electric power steering (EPS) is a power
steering system which directly uses the torque
provided by the motor. It is mainly composed
of a torque sensor, a motor, a retarding
mechanism and an electric power steering
control unit (ECU).
The electric power steering control unit (ECU)
controls the torque provided by the EPS motor
in real time by detecting the torque applied
by the driver, the vehicle speed, the engine
speed and other status signals of the vehicle to
as to ensure the convenience of steering at a
low speed and the stability of steering at a high
speed, and to improve the driving comfort and
vehicle safety.

lamp
In case of the ignition switch set to the “ON”
position, the indicator lamp
lights up. The
system performs the self-test a few seconds
after the engine is started and the indicator
lamp goes out, which indicates that the EPS
works properly.
If the indicator lamp
lights up when the
engine has been started or while driving, it
indicates that the EPS is faulty. In addition, the
instrument cluster displays an alarm message.
In this case, the vehicle shall be parked in a
safe place. Try to shut down and restart the
up again while driving, do not drive the vehicle
any more, instead, please contact the GAC
Motor authorized shop for inspection.
