Let your Honda or Acura's engine management know when power steering demand rises with the Standard Ignition Power Steering Pressure Switch PSS30. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 1995-2012 Honda Accord, 1996-2000 Honda Civic and 2003-2012 Honda Pilot.
The switch monitors pressure in the power steering system. It sends a signal when that pressure rises, as it does during low-speed turns and parking maneuvers, so the engine can adjust idle for the added pump load.
- Quality control from start to finish: Standard Ignition is a global maker of original equipment ignition products and controls quality through the whole manufacturing process, from componentry to the finished switch.
- Copper alloy conductors: Designed for strong electrical conductivity with low resistive losses.
- 100% tested: Every switch is checked to verify both its mechanical and electrical switching performance.
- Built for service professionals: A robust design and high-grade materials, backed by decades of research and development focused on what technicians need.
Signs this part may need replacing: the idle dips or the engine stalls when the steering wheel is turned at low speed, or power steering fluid seeps from the switch. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the system before replacing parts.
