Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

  1. If scan tester is available, scan power steering pressure switch status. Note status with engine running and wheels in straight-ahead position. Turn steering wheel to full left or right position and again note status. If status changed, power steering pressure switch is okay. If status did not change or scan tester is not available, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PSP switch harness connector. Connect ohmmeter between PSP switch terminals. Start engine. With no-load on power steering, continuity should not be present. Turn steering wheel to full left or right position. Continuity should now be present. If readings are not as specified, replace PSP switch.
  3. With PSP switch connector disconnected and ignition on, check for battery voltage on PSP switch harness from PCM. If battery voltage is not present, check for open or short to ground in harness between PSP switch connector and PCM.
