Steering Angle Video
Replaces hydraulic power steering.
What is electric steering?
A tie rod boot that is ripped indicates this.
What is a tie rod in need of replacement?
A probable cause of a clunking noise when turning the steering wheel quickly.
What is a worn tie rod end?
With the engine off, the steering wheel is rotated slightly in both directions while observing movement.
What is the Dry Park Test?
A steering system that contributes to autonomous vehicles.
What is electronic assist steering?
This ratio is found by dividing the degrees turned by the degrees turned by the steering wheel.
What is the steering ratio?
A gritty feeling in the outer tie rod end indicates this.
What is a tie rod that is worn out and in need of replacement?
This may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist.
What is a broken serpentine belt?
When performing the Dry Park Test, this indicates and concern.
What is play or damage in the joints?
Must be performed after performing a wheel alignment.
What is a zero-point calibration reset (steering angle reset)?
This ensures that the inside and outside wheels follow different paths while turning.
What is the purpose of the Ackermann Steering Angle?
A primary indication of bad tie rod ends.
What is uneven tire wear?
The type of power steering this video refers to.
What is hydraulic power steering?
Most issues are related to electrical circuits in this type of steering system.
What is an electric-assist power steering system?
The network used in communicating steering assist operation to other control modules.
What is CAN (Controller Area Network)?
What will a higher steering ratio ratio require compared to a lower steering ratio?
More steering wheel turns to achieve wheel turn.
This might happen if you drive with bad tie rod ends.
What is increased tire wear?
This is fed by the fluid pressure line.
What is the steering rack or gearbox?
This is a common problem in hydraulic-assist steering systems.
What is a pump failing to develop enough pressure?
This is the expected angle when the steering wheel is straight ahead.
What is "0" (zero) degrees?
Developed the variable rack and pinion steering system.
Who is Arthur Ernest Bishop?
While inspecting the inner tie rod end, you should look for this that is not related to inner tie rod end wear.
What is the presence of fluid leaking on the boot?
Two places that the technician says are common leak point in the steering pump.
What is the front seal and the high pressure line outlet?
This type of DTC indicates lost communication between modules.
What is a "U" code? (eg. U2105)
Provides a feedback loop for the PSCM to identify the operating position of the motor.
What is the steering angle sensor data?
