We've had this product available for several years now and have used it on several track cars. It was developed out of necessity so the EPAS could be used whenever applicable.
P/N: EPAS-40-1000 (we will be adding it to the website soon but it's not currently there)
Description: Electronic module that allows the S197, S550, F150, and Raptor electric steering rack (EPAS) to turn on and operate standalone. The module simulates and broadcasts the CAN signals needed by the steering rack to turn on and provide power steering. Without the correct signals the EPAS system will be dead and not function at all.
Why is this needed?
The EPAS steering lighter and more reliable than the hydraulic steering system. It is also less complex as a system since there is no hydraulic pump on the engine and no need to use a power steering cooler.
