PSP SWITCHPFP:49761
Component DescriptionEBS0126A
The power steering pressure switch is attached to the power steer-
ing 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 ModeEBS0126B
Specification data are reference values.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueEBS0126C
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 ProcedureEBS0126E
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 PRESSURE SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect power steering pressure switch harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between power steering pressure
switch terminal 2 and 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 PRESSURE SWITCH INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 111 and power steering 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 5.
NG >> GO TO 4.
4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.

Harness connectors M63, F30

Harness for open and short between power steering pressure switch and ECM
>> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
Conditions PW/ST SIGNAL
Steering wheel is in neutral position OFF
Steering wheel is turned ON
PBIB0434E
Continuity should exist.

If 4WD warning lamp turns ON, perform self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-30, "SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE" .
NOTE:

Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions in AUTO mode. This is not malfunction.

Heavy tight-corner braking symptom occurs when vehicle is driven in the following conditions: LOCK mode, steering
wheel is turned fully to either sides, and accelerator pedal was depressed.Symptom Condition Check item Reference page
