Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Electric power steering (EPS)
The power steering uses a motor to assist you in steering the vehicle. If the engine is off or if the power steering system becomes inoperative, the vehicle may still be steered, but it will require increased steering effort. The EPS is controlled by a power steering control unit which senses the steering wheel torque and vehicle speed to command the motor.Components and components location Components 1.
