This is a absolute professional presentation, quick, to the point, didn't have to watch 20 minutes of someone taking stuff apart. I'm going to prescribe. Thanks for your time.
Yep, his videos are fast paced and edit out the fights with fasteners...quick jump cuts over the slow parts. I also like the sound quality and really love the lack of wheezing, grunting, heavy breathing and loud clunks in his videos.
Super useful and very thorough (start to finish tour thru the system). Only suggestion is that some of the details on the video are lost due to constantly moving the parts around. Could be improved by setting the object down while you discuss and point out the features. (Especially true on the electronics). Clearly this is the best video I've seen on the EPS system.
I'm a mechanical engineer, trying to teach myself stuff. I wish there was an apprenticeship system of sorts where I could learn things from experienced ppl like you guys.
One of the best "how it works" videos i have ever watched... Quick, to the point, very comical, and as he tore it apart with total disregard for it ever possibly working again you were able to really see and understand the components.
Great no time wasted...dig the humor just drops into an honest style. I wish more folks did this well. I enjoy that there are no vocal fillers um um um um etc...The edits are spot on. You have a new subscriber and I have been wrenching for years.
From the radio knob to the power steering computer, it's just amazing all these parts are made for each car and where they're made and how the whole process began and then start again with a new model year, it's just amazing. this guy is amazing also.
Excellent commentary, very clear and well organized. It's rare on RUclips to find anyone doesn't hum and haw their way thru a poorly organized explanation of what they are doing.
Yes, that's correct, people are using columns from a variety of cars as self-contained units for hot rodding. Not every column works this way, but a lot of them have a failsafe mode which works pretty well but doesn't have the function of varying steering assist based on road speed. These can operate without other inputs. Others have also built control boxes which allow you to change the level of steering assist with the twist of a potentiometer.
absolutely wonderful manual for electric power steering (mostly in Japanese cars), there is no better one on the whole internet! - BRAVO and many thanks! greetings from Austria. 🙂👌👌👌👍👍👍
I appreciate the way you explain everything, to the point and concise, and you explain very perfect, not just separating components apart but opening them to the granular level, which is hilarious, exactly like a pro, Hats off to you engineer.
This must be one of the most intelligent technical RUclips channels in existence. My old Mercedes A-Klasse had electric power steering and I have wondered for years how it worked. Now I know...or at least have a rudimentary knowledge to the extent that I could understand all that was said. Thanks for this amazingly professional presentation!
Hell yeah! It's becoming more common for people to swap these Prius electric power steering systems onto hotrods, great video and topic, speedkar99! Thanks for the way you present, you're absolutely awesome, have a great day!
Just recently found this channel and I love this. It's incredible seeing how things work on the inside. There are a ridiculous amounts of parts on a car and I didn't know how a lot of them actually worked on a mechanical level because you never really see the inside. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. :)
As an ex fitter and electrician I love your videos. I do not drive any more and cycle everywhere now. But love seeing all your tare downs on all the bits the make up a car. Even the very act of turning the car is a massive electrical electronic and mechanical process. Super video as always.
@@speedkar99 Yes and it is all taken for granted I feel. Just taking form the steering wheel out to the wheels, in todays cars compared to my first car of an Austin Mini in the early 80s, If all of that was put into it, there would have been no room for the engine. lol
Actually looks simpler to me.. hydraulic systems deal with 1000+ psi worth of fluid pressure, cooling, lines that could leak, pump complexity... although this uses a brushed motor, I imagine the low duty cycle/low speed operation means it should last a while.
I loved it...if only more 'how to'/'DIY' channels would be as direct and not afraid to use your 'brothers' tools to disassemble the parts the way the rest of us do that would make my world go around a little bit faster...it was 'clear and concise' where as everyone else seems to want time to drag on to make their videos longer for reasons unknown to me... I greatly appreciate your approach...Keep up the good work. I was looking for the breakdown of the torque sensors and even though that was at the end the prelude to that part was full of good footage at a speed that didnt loose my attention...I'm not easily impressed and that video was impressive enough for me to comment...you're welcome, thank you...
Worm gear, not spiral gear. You can back-drive a worm-and-gear set if the ratio is small--it has nothing to do with gear material. Anything over about 4:1 the gearset will lock when back-driven.
Man, I feel like we were separated at birth or something. Your analysis proceeded pretty much exactly as mine would have, and at about the same depth. I'm really grateful you take the time to put together these explorations.
Thanks for the great video! Now I understand better why my racing friends are removing electric power steering - it has some slack and now I know where! Plus that friction on the motor gears. There are quite a few EPS systems used on resto-mods like this Toyota one or one from Opel (more popular swap in Europe). I personally did use Nissan one on my DeLorean build as I know the engineer responsible for it at Nissan. Newer EPS systems actually use signals from Angle Sensor but that is mostly for ADAS purposes (line correction etc). Another important stuff is that some EPS systems need vehicle speed signals to adjust power steering support. The older column will look for PWM signal, but newer for CAN frames from ABS (Wheel Speed Sensor). Thanks again! Long-time listener!
Man .. This is one hell of a video explanation . Thanks for this amazing details point after point without any bullshit. My suggestion is make a full car mechanics course in some platforms like teachable and sell it as a course content.. I will be happy to assist you on this . DM if in need.
great video! i subsd! question, confused , im getting creeking sound (all ball joints are good) when turn the wheels left to right, in park in idle, they say to fill the fluid, but there is no leaks, and my 2014 has an electric ps motor, so how is filling the tranny box w ATF going to get to the EPS when its electric, esp i dont want tover fill my tranny ???? Could it just be a bad EPS sytstem, w/ 105k miles? thank you so much!
great vid, i sub'sd! but i am confused, i am getting NO engine light or steering light on my dash, but im getting creeking /stressing sound (all ball joints are good) when turn the wheels left to right, in park in idle, they say to fill the fluid, but there is no leaks, and my 2014 has an electric ps motor, so how is filling the tranny box w ATF going to get to the EPS when its electric, nor do i want to over fill the tranny box???? i believe they are not connected in anyway. Could it just be a bad EPS sytstem, w/ 105k miles? it steers fine no noises when i m driving for now or i cant hear it, please help, thank you so much!
Great video as always. Well worth the subscription. Many new useful tools I discovered watching this video (like your famous mechanical press or your brother's de-soldering tool). 👍
Omfg YES! Please compare the systems that use Electric Hydraulic Pumps like Volvo, Porsche GT3 Cup, etc Drifters struggle finding a system that provides enough self steer and immediate feedback. Perhaps one design is inherently better for high rpm, low cooling potential.
Around 6:18 when you toss the airbag with the metal side facing up I just about fell over! All the manuals say to put the metal side down so that if the airbag accidentally deploys for some reason that you don't launch the metal, to wherever it's going to go.
I always like your videos, as always. One thing I am curious about is, since it uses a worm gear, can we still turn the steering wheel when driving if the EPS fails?
You can also use your old under wears as a rag. Just cut the cloth that you need to make it indistinguishable. Works very good when I'm TIG welding to clean my work piece.
Very informative video! The scary part for me is the plastic gear of which those things fail frequently in all of the many uses they serve in vehicles. I'm glad my car is old fashioned hydraulic driven.
I love the info-tainment but stay for your Brother's Toothbrush. I was also surprised to see how easy it was to rotate the electric motor's worm gear via' the beveled (large) gear.. Of course it needs to be able to be turned. It must have a interesting tooth engagement. Usually it's quite hard to turn a gear set backwards aka in reverse, yes? I'm not sure if I've explained that correctly but then again, I don't have a toothbrush to aid me :O) Cheers from So, CA. 3rd House On the Right. You RoCk1

Glad you appreciate my video style. What else would you like to see?
@@speedkar99I'd like to see a hydrostatic transmission disassembled, but that's tractor stuff.
@@speedkar99 for fun I would like to see your lips moving as you talk.
To those who are not mechanics, we learn this rule from training: " Never use your garments to clean parts, always use your brother's"
Indeed! Maybe use his car too? lol
and sister's 😂😂😂
Yeah fella engineer 😎😎.

I love that
Wow! You are the real deal mechanic, knows every single detail of parts, it’s function, and how it works. What a knowledge. 👍

The first rule of using prius parts in our hot rods is that we do not talk about using prius parts in our hot rods.
@@sometimesleela5947 Reminds me of the old hot rods using Pinto steering racks.
You're the best dude! Better teacher than most of the teachers at my tech school.

8:25 had that been me, that board would've snapped at first touch. another great video, thank you so much!
Drinking a good beer and watching to this video at 1.25 speed gives me the same nice sentation. Great content!
I really like the way he talks. It shows that he's really educated and his vocabulary is vast.
Amazing.
Unbelievable presentation. This kinda sums up what do we need to know about steering support system. Appreciate it.
Best explanation ever... Thank You so much!!!
Came back after a while since the last video I saw of yours. I missed this channel. Excellent work man
Thanks. I'm here. Every week or so
Excellent explanation! Electric power steering over-complicates a very simple age-old hydraulic process.
Thanks
But electric power steering is easier to replace and costs cheaper
Actually looks simpler to me.. hydraulic systems deal with 1000+ psi worth of fluid pressure, cooling, lines that could leak, pump complexity... although this uses a brushed motor, I imagine the low duty cycle/low speed operation means it should last a while.
@@MattExzy I think it was all made because they wanted the fuel economy to be better. Power steering pump create drag most of the time.
Or they want powersteering in ev mode, no? :D
Thanks for the hands-on educations. I’m always watching these well made videos out of curiosity, fascinating stuff 🙌
Like this guys explanations. And using his brothers sock to remove grease.
Brilliant explanation of how the electrics work
Thanks
I love the breaking stuff! Cut it open whatever. Let's go
You sure know the insides of the car like the back of your hand. Impressive, Bro!!

Thanks! The "slop" in the torsion beam is the same if you have hydraulic steering
Wow !! Great video I learned more than I was expecting. Thanks for info overload. I need coffee now.
You are welcome! Coffee overload to compensate
Very informative Video i learned a lot as a mechanic i never done This now its my first time to do on my personal car
Thanks I'm glad it helped you learn something new!
On point, fast explanation. Easy to understand and more information gathered in a shorter period. High five!
Crisp and right on target. Lovin' it, and subscribed to your channel.
Much better than the hyundai system that uses a rubber coupler that deteriorates and falls apart causing a clicking sound with sloppy steering.
This has been so helpful straight to the point.thanx
Using my favorite mechanical press.😂 I love this guy’s brand of humor.
Hammer time

just how close is that motor in design to that of a starter motor, other than the drive gear attached to it?
Not 1 dislike, great video!
We need more details for all components of car exactly like this video.
Thanks thanks. 🙏🙏🙏
Nice tutorial, do you know where we can get the EPS setup detached?
2:29 = I wonder, how the worm gear rotates in reverse? Usually, you cannot turn the worm gear externally..
U are soo precise in communication and the best of the best way in explaination,,please also make videos on head light control mechanism 👍👌
Can you please tell me the current rating of this dc motor or wattage
greate video providing real insight to us
Great demo.
Thanks for your video. Complicated design. I personally like the hydraulic power steering system.
Dude!!! I told you to check my tires' pressure, not disassemble my steering system!!!
Too bad
this is not a English class.
Good explanation. I was worried the direct drive was removed from rack, in case of electric failure.
Great Video!! Thanks for the info!!
Great video. I agree about the plastic gear, but I guess they don't wear out so what do I know?
Great and professional 👍

Next time you come across a circuit board could you look up the part numbers on the ICs a d see if a datasheet exists for it?
My brother tried. The datasheet for that chip was in Chinese only
