Flow Connection Valve

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti M35h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The flow connection valve closes when energized by the power steering control module.
When a malfunction occurs in the system, the non-energized state between the power steering control module and the flow connection valve opens the valve for opening the oil path of both power cylinders.
