Replying to: robertsmx (Feb 06, 2007 1:38 pm) In don't have a link handy, so read up on the 2nd gen TL and TL-S. The base model used a speed-sensing design, while the Type S got torque-sensing. With a little digging, you may find a better explanation of the difference between the two designs.

Replying to: varmint (Feb 07, 2007 10:13 am) Regardless, it is highly unlikely that people looking to reduce assist at lower speeds will get any help at dealerships. It’s a part of the design (greater assist at lower speeds, and reduced assist at high speeds).

Replying to: robertsmx (Feb 07, 2007 2:11 pm) Unfortunately, Acura's media site doesn't provide much detail. This is all that has to say on the subject. The 3.2 TL features a speed-sensitive, variable power assist system designed to complement the model's handling characteristics. By varying the amount of power assist according to vehicle speed, the system provides light steering effort during low-speed parking maneuvers and, as vehicle speed builds, progressively heavier steering effort for a positive and secure feel. The TL Type-S is equipped with an exclusive sport-tuned, power steering system (similar to the CL Type-S). The Type-S uses a torque-sensing rotary valve steering gear that varies the amount of assist according to steering input and the resultant torque generated between the pavement and tire. The system also varies assist based on engine speed, helping make steering light in parking maneuvers and heavier as speed increases for enhanced road feel. Might be a good question for Shawn.

Because I want to know the difference in light offroading without the Differential Lock button that the old model had. Is the new one as adaptable like the old one?
