Power Steering Pressure Sensor Range/Performance
The PS pressure sensor signal stays in electrical range but is implausible for the operating state, e.g. high pressure reported with the wheels straight.
Affected components
- Power steering pressure sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Sensor drift or contamination
- Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
- Low likelihood: Sensor mounting loose - signal damping
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
