POWER STEERING: POWER STEERING SYSTEM: C1552: PIG Power Supply Voltage Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

The power steering converter assembly boosts the PIG power supply battery voltage from 12 V to approximately 46 V. This voltage is then supplied to the power steering ECU to operate the motors. As a fail-safe function, when the PIG power supply and power steering converter assembly are malfunctioning, power assistance stops.
