7.2 Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The electric power steering comes as a standard item on all versions. Power steering is
ensured by an electric motor located in the dashboard area, which transfers the generated
torque directly onto a toothed wheel coaxial and integral to the column.
The torque delivered at the input by the driver is detected by a sliding-contact potentiometer
sensor.
The electric steering column fitted to the Nuova Punto incorporates the steering angle sensor,
too: this signal is also used by the ESP control unit (if available). In case of service
procedures, the steering angle sensor shall be reset by means of a suitable diagnosis
instrument.
