Hello I am building a land speed attempt car & purchased a 04/05 Saturn Vue EPS off Ebay to install. What is the most basic wiring hookup? It has All wiring coming out of two plugs attached controller: PLUG ONE: two large guage wires ( 1 Black & 1 Red ).
PLUG TWO 3 very small wires( 2 Purple & 1 red).
I am assuming that the large leads are 12V supply for the steer motor & the smaller leads are eather to speed sensor or ?
QUESTION Can this be fed a dummy signal ? if so what Volt/amp or type. OR can the wires be connected together in some fashion to satisfy the controller to it least have it power up in a limp mode ?
This is a fresh pull from a running vehical so it is likely in good shape. But if only the mains are fed 12V nothing powers up.
I do not need speed sensing control since I will design the steering arms & box around the output of the unit.
The Car I am building is based on a Fusaloge from a Lear Jet 35 using a Volks wagon bus front axle & two over clocked 2002 Supercharged 3.8 Grand prix GTP front wheel drive trains mounted as driving rear axles.
I am 3/4 complete. It looks strange but is very streamlined & light.
My wife & I plan to drive it to The SCTA time trial meets as more of a Joke But given the numbers it should pull 200mph plus (empty of extra seats , sound system etc.).
REALLY COULD USE YOUR HELP as I am an old school racer & new to EPS. ( and anything to do with wiring up to a chip based anything).
Thanks in advance, August Sommerfeld REPLY TO
