Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Electric Power Steering (Eps) Motor

Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / Steering / Linkage, Power / Electric Power Steering (Eps) Motor

Purpose, Function

The EPS motor is driven by the control current from the EPS CM (control module) and generates assist torque to manual steering mechanism.

Construction

The EPS motor is installed to the steering column with an integrated EPS CM.
The EPS motor is a brushless motor which consists of a three-phase star-connected stator, a permanent magnet rotor, and resolver sensor.

Operation

Current flows from the EPS CM to the stator to rotate the motor axis which is integrated with the rotor.
A resolver sensor for detecting rotation angle is built into the EPS motor and outputs a motor rotation angle signal to the EPS CM.
The EPS CM switches the current flowing to each stator based on the rotation angle signal from the resolver sensor.
