.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Power steering pressure switch failed.

• Open or shorted power steering pressure switch

circuit, harness damage or connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 27:
Power Steering Pressure Switch.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

27, Power Steering Pressure Switch.

• If the steering wheel is stopped while idling, "OFF" will

be displayed.

• If the steering wheel is steered while idling, "ON" will be

displayed.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-7

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at power
steering pressure switch connector A-76 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the connector A-76.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No.1 and ground by

backprobing.

• When steering wheel is stationary, voltage should mea-

sure battery positive voltage.

• When steering wheel is turned, voltage should measure

1 volt or less.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check connector A-76 at power steering pressure
switch for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 14.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 27:
Power Steering Pressure Switch.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

• If the steering wheel is stopped while idling, "OFF" will

be displayed.

• If the steering wheel is steered while idling, "ON" will be

displayed.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

.

NO : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 14.

STEP 5. Check connector A-76 at power steering pressure
switch for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

STEP 6. Measure the power supply voltage at power
steering pressure switch harness side connector A-76.
(1) Disconnect the connector A-76 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Measure the power supply voltage at PCM
connector C-90 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the PCM connector C-90.
(2) Disconnect the power steering pressure switch connector

A-76.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 52 and ground

by backprobing.

• Voltage should be between battery positive voltage.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts)

present?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Go to Step 9.
