Overview

Hydraulic power steering is treated as a complete vehicle-system function rather than one component.

Its implementation combines sensing, control logic, wiring/software and physical actuation.

Exact pins, thresholds, capacities and calibrations depend on vehicle, model year, market and controller version.
