Need a replacement Soul switch for the power steering system? The Standard Ignition Power Steering Pressure Switch PSS71 monitors hydraulic pressure and signals the vehicle's computer when steering demand runs high. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2012 Kia Soul. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Turning the wheel at low speed, such as when parking, raises power steering pressure and adds load to the engine. This switch reports that load so the engine computer can respond to it. Signs the switch may need replacing include idle dips or stalling while steering at low speed, fluid seeping at the switch, or a check engine light. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the problem before you replace the part.
