General Operation
The control module self­diagnoses SSPS system. If there is any malfunction, the warning lamp comes ON and at the same time a trouble code is set. The trouble code can be retrieved or cleared only by SCANTOOL. In normal condition, If the ignition is turned on, the warning lamp comes on for the first 2 sec and out. During this 2 sec, the control module is diagnosing SSPS system, so a driver can feel a little heavy steering effort. If the warning lamp stays on after the 2 sec or comes on afterward, it means there is a malfunction and a related trouble code is recorded. The warning lamp once come on does not go off even if the malfunction is cleared. It goes off after ignition is turned off and on without a malfunction.

However the trouble code still remains in the control module.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION
POWER RACK AND PINION
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary control valve that directs hydraulic fluid coming from the hydraulic pump to one side or the other side of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to the rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force that moves the rack left or right. That force is then transmitted through the tie rods to the steering knuckles, which turn the wheels. If power rack and pinion steering is not available, manual rack and pinion control is used; however, with this system, more steering effort is required. The movement of the steering wheel is transferred to the pinion. The rotary movement of the pinion is then transferred through the pinion threads, which mesh with teeth on the rack, thereby causing the rack to move in a linear direction. A vane­type of hydraulic pump provides hydraulic pressure for both steering systems.

As the vehicle speed increases, current from the SSPS control module increases, and the pintle blocks more and more of the orifice.

Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor
The steering wheel rotation sensor is located at the end of the steering column housing and is used to send a signal to the controller when abrupt or evasive steering maneuvers are needed.

Power Steering Pressure Hose
SSPS vehicles have a specific pressure hose assembly which includes an in­line check valve in the rack and pinion assembly. This reduces the amount of steering wheel "kick" when driving over irregular road surfaces while operating at speeds with reduced flow rate and pressure.

Power Rack and Pinion
Except for differences in valve machining, the design of the SSPS power rack and pinion assembly is the same as for the a non­SSPS system. The steering wheel movement is transferred to the pinion via the intermediate shaft. The pinion moves the rack left or right through meshing the pinion and the rack teeth. The force is then transmitted through the tie rods and steering knuckle to steer the wheels. The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary control valve which directs the hydraulic fluid from the power steering pump to one side or the other side of the rack piston. The piston is attached to the rack and uses hydraulic pressure to move the rack left or right. The rotary control valve regulates the degree of assist by responding to the driver's torque input. If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is maintained. However, under this condition, more steering effort is required.

SPEED SENSITIVE POWER STEERING SYSTEM
The speed sensitive power steering (SSPS) system varies the driver effort required to steer as the vehicle speed changes. At low speeds, the system provides maximum power assist for easy turning and parking maneuvers. At higher speeds, the steering power is reduced to provide the driver with firmer steering and directional stability. The SSPS system accomplishes this by reducing the amount of power steering fluid flow from the power steering pump to the power steering gear as the vehicle speed increases. When the vehicle is stationary, the SSPS system provides maximum fluid flow to the steering gear. As the vehicle speed increases, the fluid flow to the steering gear is decreased.

Power Steering Pump
The standard vane­type pump, which provides hydraulic pressure for the system, incorporates a special discharge fitting to hold the EVO actuator.

Control Module
The SSPS control module processes the vehicle speed information from the engine control module (ECM) and uses the steering wheel rotation sensor to provide a control signal to the electronic variable orifice (EVO) actuator located on the power steering pump.

System Operation
System operation originates with input from the vehicle speed sensor via the engine control module to the SSPS control module. The SSPS control module sends a signal to the SSPS actuator to vary the rate of fluid flow output by the power steering pump.

Circuit Operation Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) Actuator
The electronic variable orifice (EVO) actuator is located on the power steering pump and contains a solenoid­ operated pintle valve. Fluid leaving the pump passes through an orifice in the actuator tip. When the EVO actuator is powered by the SSPS control module, the pintle moves into the orifice and reduces the power steering fluid flow.
DAEWOO V­121 BL4

The SSPS system uses inputs from the speed sensor and steering wheel rotation sensor to the SSPS controller to determine the desired amount of power steering assist. The SSPS control module constantly compares the amount of current flowing through the EVO actuator to the desired current it has calculated. The EVO actuator has a pintle that moves in and out of an orifice, regulating power

6C ­ 34IPOWER STEERING GEAR
steering fluid flow. The SSPS control module can change the amount of current flowing through the EVO actuator by varying the output duty cycle. If the EVO actuator is disconnected, the pintle will be pulled out of the orifice for maximum power steering assist. The SSPS control module has the ability to detect faults in the steering wheel rotation sensor, the EVO actuator, or the circuitry to those components. Any default detected will cause the power steering assist to remain at maximum with the pintle in its normally retracted position for all speeds. When the system is operating normally, increasing the vehicle speed will decrease power steering assist, allowing the driver to have improved road feel and directional stability. When sudden steering wheel turns are made, as in evasive maneuvers, they are detected by the SSPS control module through the steering wheel rotation sensor. When detected, the SSPS control module reduces current to the EVO actuator, allowing greater power steering assist. SSPS (Speed Sensitive Power Steering) is to control power steering effort properly according to varying conditions for both convenience and safety. At low speed or standstill, power steering effort becomes light to provide easy steering. On the contrary, at high speed, power steering effort becomes heavy to provide stable steering. SSPS offered to LACETTI is EVO (Electric Variable Orifice) type, which controls steering effort by modulating pressurized fluid supply to the steering unit from the power steering pump.

Steering wheel rotation sensor is installed at the bottom of the steering column. This sensor detects steering wheel rotation which is used to calculate the angle speed of the steering wheel by SSPS module. If the angle speed was big enough for intervention into nor-

mal steering force control during high vehicle speed, which means a driver made an evasive steering maneuver to avoid an accident, SSPS module would supply enough steering support. The sensor consists of a variable resistor.

The flow control actuator is installed on the outlet of the conventional vein type of the power steering pump. The actuator modulates fluid flow to the steering gear from the pump by current control from the SSPS module. At low speed, small current is supplied to the actuator. Then the actuator modulates flow high and steering effort becomes light. At high speed, On the contrary, big current to the actuator. Low fluid flow and heavy steering effort. If there happens an actuator malfunction, by default its pintle valve opens the orifice 100% to supply light steering effort. The maximum pumping pressure with SSPS option is 74.4~81.6 kg/cm2. If you try to measure voltage at the actuator terminal with the connector removed, you can measure 6.5V.
