Help your engine management system respond to steering load with the Standard Ignition Power Steering Pressure Switch PSS12. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009 Honda Civic, 1996-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

The switch monitors hydraulic pressure in the power steering system. When pressure rises, as it does during low-speed and parking maneuvers, it signals the engine control system so idle can be adjusted for the added pump load.
