A power steering pressure switch monitors pressure in the power steering system. When that pressure rises, such as during low-speed turns or parking maneuvers, the switch signals the engine control system so idle can be adjusted for the added load of the steering pump.
Signs this part may need replacing: idle that dips or an engine that stalls when you turn the wheel at low speed, or fluid seeping around the switch. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the system first. If a failed pressure switch is the cause, PSS51 replaces it.
