Thanks for the response Kain. Seems rather straight forward. Now I wonder how they sense the torque in the steering column to regulate the motor. Strain gauges? Also, the 12 Volt motor must be geared somehow to produce the necessary assist torque. Do you know of a website where Prius/HiHy tech info or shop manuals can be accessed/downloaded?

Thanks
