OPERATION
On vehicles equipped with Adaptive Steering (SJE sales code), relearn the steering angle any time the steering gear input shaft is physically separated from the SCCM (disconnecting intermediate shaft and/or steering column from either end). Refer to the reset Steering Angle Calibration for the Steering Assist Module (SAM). Refer to RESET STEERING ANGLE CALIBRATION .
The power steering system utilizes a belt driven hydraulic pump to route fluid through a series of hose to a constant flow rate and displacement, vane-type pump. The power steering gear is a recirculating ball worm (nut) gear type that uses hydraulic pressure to transfer steering torque to the front wheels. The steering system uses an aluminum cross-low cooler mount in front of the radiator to regulate system temperature. This hydraulic power steering system in standard equipment.
