POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH

OPERATION







- The power steering pressure switch converts presence/absence of power steering load into low/high voltage and inputs it to the engine control module, which then controls the idle air control motor based on this signal.




- The battery voltage in the engine control module is applied through a resistor to the power steering pressure switch. Steering operation causes the power steering oil pressure to increase,- turning the switch on. As a result, continuity is produced between the battery voltage applied and ground. This causes the power steering pressure terminal voltage to go from high to low.
