Power Steering Pressure Sensor

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mercury Sable, 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) sensor monitors power steering pressure. PSP sensor voltage input to PCM will change as hydraulic pressure changes. PCM uses PSP sensor input signal to compensate for additional loads on engine by adjusting idle speed RPM, and prevents engine stall during parking maneuvers. PCM also uses PSP signal to adjust transaxle/transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) pressure during increased engine load.
