Power Steering Pressure Switch Failure Symptoms. Most times, i would say, this code is thrown by the ecm because of an electrical issue but at times, mechanical problems could possibly be the cause. I had a simialr prob to you where my p/s pressure switch had died and was leaking oil into where you said.
It’s important to know a few of the signs and symptoms that might indicate a failing or failed pressures switch. If you see oil residue, it is obviously due to leaks. A vehicle with low power steering pump pressure requires increased effort to steer.
Best i could tell leak was coming from the vicinity of the power steering pressure switch (psps): You should look for leaks. Most times, i would say, this code is thrown by the ecm because of an electrical issue but at times, mechanical problems could possibly be the cause.
