Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

The PSP switch monitors power steering pressure. PSP switch is normally closed and opens as pressure increases. PCM uses input signal from PSP switch to compensate for additional loads on engine by adjusting idle speed. PCM also uses PSP signal to adjust transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load.
