Diagnosis and Repair of Power Steering Rack Electric Pump
The electro-hydraulic steering mechanism combines the properties of its two predecessors: hydraulic and electric power steering systems. As in conventional hydraulics, fluid moves the steering rack rod using a piston. However, the pressure in the system is created not by a mechanical pump driven by the engine pulley, but by an electric motor. Restoration of power steering pumps in Warsaw is a sought-after service by STS.Parts.
How to Recognize a Damaged Electric Power Steering Pump
The electric pump is controlled by electronics, allowing it to be used only during turns, thus saving energy and fuel. At the same time, the electronic components of this device can become a major problem, as the control board is installed directly on the pump, close to the oil reservoir. Therefore, leaks in the electric pump usually lead to its failure.
The main sign of pump malfunction is a yellow or red steering wheel icon on the dashboard. But even before that, other symptoms may indicate the same problem:
- Strange noises (humming, squealing) from under the hood
- Steering wheel binding when turning
- Steering wheel jerks
- Increased steering effort
All these are reasons to visit a workshop, preferably with us at STS.Parts.
