QUESTION: service power steering warning has been on for 6 months but working fine. I'm told that the sensor turns off ac compressor when turning steering wheel all the way
ANSWER: NO, NO, NO. The sensor increases the engine speed when making a tight turn when at slow speeds or idle speed so as the engine does not stall.


Let's see if we can turn OFF that service power steering warning display.

Follow these steps.

1. Ignition ON, Engine OFF.

2. Simultaneously push and hold the OFF and WARMER buttons on your climate control panel for 3 seconds and release them.

3. Diagnostic CODES will appear as a LETTER and NUMBER combination with the word CURRENT or HISTORY displayed with EACH CODE on the fuel data center.

4. Write down the LETTER/NUMBER that displays along with either CURRENT or HISTORY and then the display will stop at PCM?

5. Let me know what you get.

6. Turn OFF ignition.
