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 |
DESCRIPTION
The power steering oil pressure switch is turned on when a power steering wheel load is generated by turning the steering wheel. The ECM regulates the engine idling speed according to the voltage output of the sensor.DTC No.
| DTC Detection Condition
| Trouble Area
|
P0550
| Power steering oil pressure switch voltage is below 0.28 V, or higher than 4.9 V for 0.5 seconds while the engine is running (1 trip detection logic).
| - Open or short in power steering oil pressure switch circuit
- Power steering oil pressure switch
- ECM
|
P0552
| Power steering oil pressure switch voltage is below 0.28 V for 0.5 seconds while the engine is running (1 trip detection logic).
| - Open or short in power steering oil pressure switch circuit
- Power steering oil pressure switch
- ECM
|
P0553
| Power steering oil pressure switch voltage is higher than 4.9 V for 0.5 seconds while the engine is running (1 trip detection logic).
| - Open or short in power steering oil pressure switch circuit

WIRING DIAGRAM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the switch voltage and uses this value to regulate the engine idling speed. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the power steering oil pressure switch and stores a DTC.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- Idle the engine for 5 seconds or more.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- If other DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are stored simultaneously, there may be an open circuit between terminal E2 and body ground.
- Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

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

2.REPLACE POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SWITCH |
Replace the power steering oil pressure switch (Click here).
3.CONFIRM WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern.
Read the DTCs.
