Section 01 TECHNICAL MANUAL Subsection 01 (DYNAMIC POWER STEERING (DPS)) GENERAL Steering torque may also come from the wheels due to rough terrain. Steering kickback is reduced During assembly/installation, use the torque val- while providing feedback to the driver. ues and service products as in the exploded view. The greater the power steering assist, the greater the load on the electrical system.
Section 01 TECHNICAL MANUAL Subsection 01 (DYNAMIC POWER STEERING (DPS)) The active DPS mode will be displayed in the lower portion of multifunction gauge. vmr2010-003-003 DPS UNIT The DPS module provides DC power to the mo- tor. The amount and duration of that DC power is determined by the inputs to the DPS module.
