P0552

1GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0550, P0552, P0553: Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0553 - Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

The power steering oil pressure sensor 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.





WIRING DIAGRAM





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the power steering oil pressure sensor voltage and uses this value to regulate the engine idling speed. When the power steering oil pressure sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the power steering oil pressure sensor and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).

4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].

6. Start the engine.

7. Idle the engine for 5 seconds [B].

8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [C].

9. Read the pending DTCs.

HINT
* If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

11. Input the DTC: P0550, P0552 or P0553.

12. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps [B] and [C] again.

13. If no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
* If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* If DTCs relating to different systems which share terminal E2 as their ground are stored simultaneously, there may be an open circuit between terminal E2 and ground.
* Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. 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.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SENSOR)

(a) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(b) Disconnect the power steering oil pressure sensor connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. REPLACE POWER STEERING OIL PRESSURE SENSOR

(a) Replace the power steering oil pressure sensor Removal.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

3. CONFIRM WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern.

(e) Read the DTCs.

B -- END

A -- REPLACE ECM Removal
