SSPS (Speed Sensing Power Steering)

In the conventional constant power assist steering system, the steerability gets lighter as vehicle speed rises, and

this may cause a dangerous situation. Where as having heavy steerability in high speed driving makes it difficult to

manipulate the steering wheel when vehicle is in stop. This steering system solves this problem as the steerability

is changed according to the vehicle speed, which is called Speed Sensitive Power Steering (SSPS).

SSPS, by providing appropriate steerability to a driver according to the changes of vehicle speed, gives steering

stability. The power steering control unit adjusts the hydraulic pressure to reaction plunger by controlling the pres-

sure solenoid valve located in the gear box to optimize the steerability. In other words, the steering wheel gets lighter

by adjusting steerability in stop or low speed and provides steering stability by adjusting steering wheel to become

heavier in high speed.

SSPS (Speed Sensitive

Power Steering)

• If the SSPS solenoid valve is defective, the power steering assembly should be replaced.
