What is the Power Steering Control Valve all about?

Power steering pumps create high pressure in order to push fluid through the system, into the power steering rack, and provide good handling. There are many different components that play critical roles in this process, and the power steering control valve is one of them. You might be more familiar with this as the flow-control valve.

In most setups, the power steering control valve is located at the outlet of the pump, where the fluid leaves the pump and enters the supply line. It regulates the pressure of the fluid in the line to the correct PSI. If the valve fails, the fluid pressure may become too low or too high. Excessive pressure can cause damage to the supply line, creating leaks and fire hazards (power steering fluid is flammable).

Keep in mind:

The power steering control valve is not part of any service or maintenance regimen.
It is not possible to check the valve for operation during basic maintenance, so it will only be inspected if there is a problem.
Failure of the control valve will create problems with steering and handling.
In most instances, valve failure will require replacement of the power steering pump itself.

How it's done:

The power steering control valve is checked for replacement
The power steering control valve is removed
The new power steering control valve is installed
The power steering system is refilled and checked for leaks
The engine is run and the power steering system operation is checked

Our recommendation:

While the power steering valve does not require any regular maintenance you may request that it is diagnosed if your car exhibits any of the symptoms. Your power steering system is an important component of your vehicle, ensuring simplified handling through all types of turns. However, a failing power steering control valve can cause drops in fluid pressure, creating harder steering. Have any malfunction or problem with your power steering system inspected by one of our expert mechanics immediately.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Power Steering Control Valve?

Hard steering at higher speeds
Whining noise during turning

How important is this service?

Your power steering system might not be as critical to vehicle operation as the engine and transmission, but it enhances safety and makes steering easier. If you notice any problems with your power steering system, have the vehicle inspected and the problem diagnosed as soon as possible.

Nissan Pulsar NX L4-1.6L - Car is not starting - Waldorf, Maryland

I had a recurring problem with my older car that was not starting after sitting for a few days. Sean is very knowledgeable and explained the issues very clearly He analyzed the "new" battery and found a dead cell. He gave me a quote of other maintenance things I would need in the future.

Nissan Pathfinder V6-3.5L - Starter - Irving, Texas

After being unable to start our SUV we were in need of a mechanic. We normally would visit our regular mechanic but since we couldn't start the car it would need to be towed. In addition our mechanic doesn't work weekends which causes even more inconvenience to have to go during work hours. Needless to say we decided to look into a mobile mechanic before contacting our roadside assistance. We had never used a mobile mechanic and were a little worried. Not just about a mobile mechanic but a different mechanic altogether. We scheduled an appointment for 9am on 12/6 to have our starter checked out, which was a great turnaround time since we made the appointment on Saturday at 4pm. We were assigned Carlos. He was on time, friendly, and worked very quickly. He found that it was in fact our starter that was out. The cost of the inspection was $70. We then booked the repair with Carlos, but he wasn't available until 1pm the same day. Since we were completing the work with the site the $70 was applied to the repairs so instead of $195 parts and labor it was $125. Carlos ended up calling us around 10:45 and said he was here. Apparently he had something open up earlier and was able to push our appointment up. He finished the work after about an hour and a half. During the inspection he gave us a full report on our cars health which is really great. Also took a lot of pictures and gave us an explanation on things to watch out for. Overall we can't recommend Carlos enough! He is a wonderful and knowledgable mechanic!
