Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors power steering pressure. When power steering fluid pressure exceeds the preset limit, the PSP sensor sends an input signal to the PCM. The PCM then adjusts idle speed and prevents engine stall during parking maneuvers. PCM also uses PSP signal to adjust transaxle/transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load.
