DESCRIPTION

The power steering oil pressure switch is turned on when a power steering wheel load is generated by turning the steering wheel. The ECM regulates the engine idling speed according to the voltage output of the sensor.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0550 Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction Power steering oil pressure switch voltage below 0.28 V, or higher than 4.9 V for 0.5 seconds while engine running (1 trip detection logic).
  • Open or short in power steering oil pressure switch circuit

  • Power steering oil pressure switch

  • ECM

Comes on DTC stored
P0552 Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input Power steering oil pressure switch voltage below 0.28 V for 0.5 seconds while engine running (1 trip detection logic).
  • Open or short in power steering oil pressure switch circuit

  • Power steering oil pressure switch

  • ECM

Comes on DTC stored
P0553 Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input Power steering oil pressure switch voltage higher than 4.9 V for 0.5 seconds while engine running (1 trip detection logic).
  • Open or short in power steering oil pressure switch circuit

  • Power steering oil pressure switch

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to regulate the engine idling speed. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the power steering oil pressure switch and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).

  4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  6. Start the engine.

  7. Idle the engine for 5 seconds [A].

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [B].

  9. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tip:
    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

  11. Input the DTC: P0550, P0552 or P0553.

  12. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A
    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tip:
    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:
  • If other DTCs relating to different systems that have terminal ETHW as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal ETHW may have an open circuit.

  • malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH)


    1. Disconnect the C23 power steering oil pressure switch connector.

    2. Disconnect the C28 and C29 ECM connectors.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C23-2 (PSP) - C29-16 (PSP) Always Below 1 Ω
      C23-1 (VC) - C28-16 (VCV2) Always Below 1 Ω
      C23-3 (E2) - C29-8 (ETHW) Always Below 1 Ω
      C23-2 (PSP) or C29-16 (PSP) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C23-1 (VC) or C28-16 (VCV2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
