Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Test
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2005 Mercury Sable, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Mercury Monterey, 2005 Mercury Montego, and 2005 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This tests the ability of the EEC system to detect a change in the power steering system fluid pressure. The steering wheel is briefly turned at least 1/4 of a revolution on vehicles equipped with a PSP switch or sensor. This is done during a KOER on-demand self-test.
