Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit

General electrical fault on the power steering pressure sensor. The ECU uses this signal to compensate idle speed when the steering load increases; without it idle stability can suffer during parking maneuvers.

Affected components

  • Power steering pressure sensor
  • Ps sensor wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Pressure sensor failed
  • Medium likelihood: Wiring or connector fault

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
