2007 Prius electric steering,, why don't it work

- I got this setup in hopes to install it on my little tractor to make steering easier when using the loader, I'm not sure if I can make it fit but I think I can, but so far when I bench test this thing, I can't get it to work, if anyone has any ideas as to why it don't work,, please let me know,
Pleased to hear that you got it working and that there was nothing wrong with either of the components. 😎👍
Personally, I have no idea how that works. But I can see how you might use it on your tractor to help steer it. Good idea and I hope it works.
the problem is , if I get this working, space is pretty limited on the little tractor.
@MissouriOldTimer can you tell me how you got it to work I'm having the same issue
I don't know anything about this particular unit but it is a popular conversion over here to use the electric power steering from a small car. The one that is mostly used over here has an additional wire to control how much power assistance you require and when it is on the car it is speed controlled
I think that's kinda what the small wire on this one is supposed to do, but I'm not sure.
I just bought the same one as yours i did the test very same as yours. I its didn't work just hear the click. I brought its to the store. They told me i need to put load in the end side. Tomorrow i will test before intall in my mini van. Hope its work. Your video very helpful. Thank
yes you are right it does need a load on the output side for it to work.
Try putting flat washer style bearings on your spindles. You'll find that your steering will be many times smoother and easier without all the hassle of making major modifications. "Try it you'll like it!"
I can see how that might help. if this does'nt work I 'll try that.
I sell these (and the Nissan and Corolla version) on ebay and have more experience than everyone who comments. A few folks got it right and so do you with electrical connectors.
The way these work is resistance triggers them to 'assist' in the direction you're turning. So with column sitting there on a bench its simply waiting for you to turn the steering wheel AND have some resistance as if wheel is on the ground.
Hook power and ground up only and grab two sets of vice grips,clamp one vice grip to the end to the splines on the steering side (this is the end with nut on your video) and clamp other to rack end spline on the steering shaft. Next have an assistant hold on to one end while you turn the opposite way. It will feel like nothing, because after all its just a steel shaft...next hook up that small accessory wire, this makes the system turn on and click. And do the same turn test with an assistant...be ready!!! The electric power steering is goin to assist the person turning.
Ive sold about 40 columns this year alone. I hope this helps.
thank you very much.
@@MissouriOldTimer Not a problem at all, a buyer sent me this video and feared he would have issues. I have this same model installed in my Chevy Nova and Im never going back to hydraulic. Much love from Indiana
@@2muchspl unfortunately, I wasn't able to put this on my little Mitsubishi tractor, there just wasn't enough room, it would have been great if it would have worked.
@@MissouriOldTimer Yes, size is deceptive when it comes to these EPS. I cut, welded and random universal jointed via eBay to get it where I wanted. The hurdles were tiresome to say the least.
I really hope you get it working cause that would be great if you could retro fit that to your tractor. Good idea. Stevo
i think you are missing a couple more thin wires from that small connector where you had the yellow one running to
The motor reads input torque to initiate the system. It has to be under load… connected
See if it is getting power to the steering motor from the relay , if so must be something in the steering assembly
thanks, I'm not very good at electronics but I will try to check that.
I agree Lloyd ! I was going to say that , That would be the starting point I would try first ..
@@shawnmrfixitlee6478 thanks guys, I'll definitely try to see if there's a broken wire or something along those lines causing the trouble.
@@MissouriOldTimer That is going to be nice if you can get it working ..
If you here a click when you connect the single wire, ( ignition volt trigger) then you should be good. You need to have resistance on both ends of the shaft. I'd put a pair of vice grips on each end , to give you something to grip
yes, I finely figured that out but it didn't fit my tractor so I sold it thanks .
You need to put a load on the input and output shafts so the control box can see a load and it should work
thank you,, you are very correct, I did notice that after I made the video.. I hope shortly to try to rig it up on my little satoh/Mitsubishi tractor.
@@MissouriOldTimer hey. I just received my one today and had the same issue.. any tips on how to load test it so I know its working before I start modifying it to fit the car.. a video of it working under load would've been amazing.. thanks for this though
@@akib2542 like another guy mentioned, put a pair of vise grips on the steering wheel shaft and one on the bottom of the assembly , hook it up and have someone hold the bottom pliers and they should not be able to hold the shaft when you turn the top part. that's where I made my mistake, I didn't have a load on the lower shaft.
either way sometimes it is just fun to work on things for me but then it can get frustrating
it seems lately that everything I tinker with don't work. lol
Have you tried also running a ground to both the module case and the EPS unit body as well. Normally they're bolted to the steel frame of the car body that acts as a ground for all the car's electrics. You've got both modules resting on a coffee table.
I was a dummy, I didn't realize I needed a load on the lower part for the sensors to see that they needed to add assist, but I later found out it actually works right, thanks for commenting.
You need to ground the side with the small yellow wires too the cluster of three
it works ok, I just didn't have any load on the output side.
@@MissouriOldTimer I see, good
..Don't forget to come back again bos
Come today, whether tomorrow,
or the day after tomorrow, I always support, to go forward and succeed, Aamiin..
For me, the job as an editor is the coolest ,
this can express my creativity
and innovation as a content creator ..
, The video is really interesting to watch,
or watch,
When watching it's really interesting to go back
to watching another video,
There are times when editing really takes extra work,
Until it produces a really good video,
hopefully it will be better in the future,
I'm sure of that,
because of all that is done to make the video really,
The results are satisfying for me to watch,
Thank you my virtual friend for producing a very beautiful video,
Hopefully my videos can be as beautiful
as you are doing,
and my videos can be interesting to watch too,
That is all and thank you

thank you
@@MissouriOldTimer
you too 😊
Did you figure it out?
If you didn’t the wire what you plugged in last (ignition positive) I believe there’s 3 wires in that last plug you need to ground also.
thanks for helping,, it turned out I didn't have a load on the lower shaft once I did that it worked as it should, thanks again.
@@MissouriOldTimer Ah awesome. Looks pretty easy to hook up and get working then. I might have to try this.
@@JDawgBuilds I was going to use it on my little tractor but there just wasn't enough room so I sold the steering unit.
This probably has nothing to do with your problem. The electric side door on my Venture van stopped
working but I could hear the relay working when I pushed the open button. A week later I noticed another switch pushed in. It was the switch that stopped the door from opening. LOL
when it comes to electric, I really don't know much,I'll have to do some more checking.
I didn't know they were elect steering. wow.
yes several cars have it, not that I am a big fan of it, my wife's HHR had that and it stopped working, you can still steer the car but it very hard.
How's she goin'? I'm sorry I have no idea why this isn't going. Seems like the motor isn't getting any power. But this is above my pay grade!!! Interesting though if you get it going!!! Take care!!!
lol I think I am out ranked on this project too,, lol
Vernon it seems if my helicopter have the same problem than the steering circuit, if you found your problem it might help me find the helicopter problem lol
I'll let you know if I figure out anything.
Ground? O.0?
