POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
PFP:49761
Component DescriptionEBS003PS
The power steering oil pressure switch is attached to the power
steering high-pressure tube and detects a power steering load.
When a power steering load is detected, it signals the ECM. The
ECM adjusts the fuel injector pulse width to increase the idle speed
and adjust for the increased load.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeEBS003PT
Specification data are reference values.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueEBS003PZ
Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

Diagnostic Procedure
EBS003PV
1. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Check “PW/ST SIGNAL” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CON-
SULT-II under the following conditions.
OK or NG
OK >>INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect power steering oil pressure switch harness connec-
tor.
3. Check harness continuity between power steering oil pressure
switch terminal 2 and engine ground. Refer to Wiring Diagram.
4. Also check harness for short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair open circuit or short to power in harness or con-
nectors.
3. CHECK POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND
SHORT
1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal E12 and power steering oil pressure switch terminal 1.
Refer to Wiring Diagram.
3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
4. CHECK POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
Refer to EC-1571, "
Component Inspection" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Replace power steering oil pressure switch.
Conditions PW/ST SIGNAL

2. COMBINATION METER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT INSPECTION
1. Disconnect combination meter connector.
2. Check voltage between the combination meter harness connector M46 terminal No. LHD models: 46 (W/
L) RHD models: 59 (W/L) and body ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Malfunctioning combination meter.
NG >> Check fuse 10A [#11] to combination meter harness and connector.
4WD WARNING LAMP DOES NOT GO OUT SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER ENGINE
STARTED.(4WD MODE INDICATOR LAMP GOES OUT)
1. PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Using CONSULT-II perform self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
OK >> No malfunction detected. Perform inspection again.
NG >>
●Determine the location of the malfunction according to the result of Self-diagnosis using CON-
SULT-II. (Malfunction is present in the 4WD system.)
●CONSULT-II does not display 4WD system-related trouble codes. GO TO 2.
2. 4WD CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONNECTION INSPECTION
●Check 4WD control unit connector for proper connection.
OK or NG
OK >> Reconnect the 4WD control unit connector properly and perform inspection again.
NG >> Repair or replace the connector.
HEAVY TIGHT-CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN
AUTO MODE AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED FULLY TO EITHER SIDE AFTER THE
ENGINE IS STARTED
1. PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS.
Using CONSULT-II perform self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2. (No self-diagnosis malfunction indicated.)
NG >> Determine the location of the malfunction according to the result of self-diagnosis using CON-
SULT-II. (Malfunction is present in the 4WD system.)
2. CHECK USING THE DATA MONITOR FUNCTION OF THE CONSULT- II.
●Perform inspection by the data monitor function of the CONSULT-II.
●Check that the operation is in AUTO mode.
●Measure voltage when the accelerator pedal is not depressed. (Accelerator pedal not depressed: approx.
0.5V or lower)
●Measure the current supplied to the 4WD solenoid valve. (Accelerator pedal not depressed: approx. 0A)
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3. (No self-diagnosis malfunction indicated.)
NG >>
●Not in AUTO mode. GO TO 3.
●Voltage when accelerator pedal is not depressed is higher than approximately 0.5V.
●4WD solenoid valve current when the accelerator pedal is not depressed is other than 0A.
●Countermeasure: Keep the vehicle idling for approximately 15 minutes before checking again.
(Voltage when accelerator pedal is not depressed will be automatically reset to zero during this
period.)
