Power Steering Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Intermittent

Where it lives

For P0554, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of P0554 reports a fault at the sensor.

Check these first

• A failing power steering pressure sensor
• A chafed wire making intermittent contact
• Water in the sensor connector
• A low power steering fluid level
• A failing power steering pump

What to do next

1. Watch pressure data while moving the harness
2. Inspect the connector for water or corrosion
3. Check the fluid level and condition
4. Test the pump for weak output
5. Replace the sensor if the signal cuts out
6. Clear the code and retest
