Power Steering Pressure Switch: MPV

  1. Continuity Inspection

    Disconnect Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch single pin harness connector. Connect ohmmeter between PSP switch terminal and ground. Start engine and operate at idle. Turn steering wheel from side to side and observe ohmmeter. Continuity should be present when steering wheel is turned. Continuity should not be present when steering wheel is straight ahead position. If PSP switch is okay, go to next step. If continuity is not as specified, replace PSP switch.
  2. Open Circuit Inspection

    Check for continuity in Black/Blue wire between PSP switch harness connector terminal and PCM 104-pin harness connector terminal No. 31. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair open circuit in Black/Blue wire between PSP switch harness connector and PCM 104-pin harness connector terminal No. 31. See appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM under ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS.
  3. Short Circuit Inspection

    Check for continuity in Black/white wire between PSP switch harness connector terminal and PCM 104-pin harness connector terminal No. 31 to ground. If continuity is present, repair short circuit to ground in Black/Blue wire between PSP switch harness connector and PCM 104-pin harness connector terminal No. 31.
