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.

He’s very willing to update appointment time to be workable for both parties. He came to fix my car handle as booked. He found another problem, but he told me how to fix it in a cost-effective way for a future appointment.

Suzuki Esteem L4-1.8L - Power Steering Pressure Hose - Corona, California

Jay Unger repaired my older model vehicle with no problem. I have been told by others it would not be wise to fix the car based on the year and mileage of my vehicle but for under $700 my car was repaired and running like new. It sure saved going out and buying a new car with payments or buying a vehicle with potentially worse problems. He was very professional, was timely and explained everything that was wrong, what he did as to the repairs and what may be needed for future repairs. I would call YourMechanic again and ask for Jay Unger to repair my car anytime. Having the work done at home saved me drive time and down time.

I just replaced my [headlights](/topics-headlight-ford/). Before I did the replacement, the passenger side light went out. But now, both of them are out. I am receiving power for the \\\\\ \\\\\ghts, but not the low beam. High beams still work.

I have been having with my Jeep not starting. A friend tried to jump start it but nothing would happen. The dome light worked however the horn did not. Tried a different vehicle and jumper cables and the Jeep cranked. Ran fine the rest of the day and the next day. This morning my Jeep started fine. I drove to the gas station, came back out and it would not start. Had the same issues trying to jump start it. Napa Auto Parts walked over and tested the battery which read 12.6 volts, the Napa guy was able to start my Jeep with a jumper box. He said the alternator was good too. When leaving to drive my Jeep home, several lights in the dash were flashing, the radio would not work and the speedometer would not work. Got home and let the my Jeep run idle for 20 minutes, then it just died. The Jeep set for several hours while I was at work. I got home and tested the battery with a multimeter and it read 12.6 volts. Tried starting it and it would not do anything. Four hours later, I wanted to go outside to see if my headlights were working turned them on and they were. I thought let me try and start it. The Jeep started right up with no issue. Could this be a bad battery even though it is showing 12.6 volts, the Napa guy did say the CCA were low but the battery was good. Would a faulty crankshaft cause issue that would mimic a bad battery, alternator or starter? I'm at a loss and don't want to waste money buying a battery if it is something else.
