DTC P0550: Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction; DTC P0552: Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input; DTC P0553: Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input: Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the power steering oil pressure switch connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
