What is the Power Steering Pressure Switch all about?

Power steering makes steering a vehicle much easier at low speeds. However, because the system is powered by the engine, increased loads can cause problems. The harder the power steering system must work to meet the demands of the driver, the heavier the load is placed on the engine.

The power steering pressure switch is located either at the power steering pump or the gearbox. It’s an on/off type of switch that communicates with the vehicle’s computer by sending information about the fluid pressure in the system, and if necessary, the computer adjusts the engine’s operation to account for increased demand. In some systems, the switch is also tied into the vehicle’s air conditioning and will turn off the compressor at certain load points (or communicate with the ECM to turn off the compressor). The switch uses a diaphragm, as well as two electrical sensors. Over time and through exposure to heat, the sensor can malfunction or fail.

Keep in mind:

  • The power steering pressure switch is not part of any regular maintenance.
  • The power steering pressure switch cannot be inspected without significant teardown.
  • Failure of the power steering pressure switch can mimic a number of other problems with the system, so it’s vital that one of our expert mechanics diagnose the problem.

How it's done:

  • The hood is opened and the engine is allowed to cool then drained of fluid
  • The power steering pressure switch is removed from the pressure line
  • The new power steering pressure switch is installed into the pressure line
  • The power steering system is refilled with fluid and purged of air
  • The engine is run and the power steering system operation is checked

Our recommendation:

The power steering system of your vehicle makes handling at low speeds much easier. It’s an important part of your vehicle, and if you’ve noticed that it isn’t operating correctly, we recommend having one of our expert mechanics diagnose it.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Power Steering Pressure Switch?

  • Lack of power steering assist
  • Engine stutters under heavy steering load

How important is this service?

While it’s not as critical as your drivetrain, the power steering system does offer vital usability enhancements. We recommend having any malfunction diagnosed as soon as possible by one of our expert mechanics. Note that problems with the pressure switch can be similar to numerous other issues, so self-diagnosing the failure is not recommended.

My car has been overheating at idle for 4 days. I did some research and decided to replace the thermostat and coolant hoses, and do a coolant flush. On the 4th day I was driving home from a quick trip out and driving up hill. I turned over drive off because it's supposed to be better when going up steep hills. A few blocks later I started smelling burning and my temp gauge was shooting up. I was 2 blocks from home so I just got there and parked it. The next day I checked the coolant and the reservoir was empty. I checked the oil and it was almost black. Last time I checked them was 5 days previous and oil was fine, coolant needed to be topped off in the reservoir but it was only an inch below max. Do you think I might have an internal coolant leak? I don't think it's in the oil because it doesn't have that frothy look. Not sure about the heater core but I'm not noticing any monster in the front passenger area. I havent noticed any coolant leaking externally.

The check engine light is on. I took it to a orileys to have the diagnostic ran and got the P2004 swirl control valve bank 1 and the tumble control valve. What kind of expense am I looking at? My dad is on a fixed income and cannot afford a high dollar repair bill.
