DTC P1651: Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch Signal Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P1651 - POWER STEERING PRESSURE (PSP) SWITCH SIGNAL MALFUNCTION

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) counts the number of vehicle speed transitions from 0 to a calibrated speed. After a calibrated number of speed transitions, the PCM expects the PSP input to change. This DTC is set if the transition is not detected.
Possible Causes: 
  • Vehicle towed with the engine running
  • The power steering hydraulic concern was repaired but the DTC was not erased
  • PSP switch/shorting bar damaged
  • SIG RTN circuit open
  • PSP circuit open or shorted to SIGRTN
Diagnostic Aids:  Check if the vehicle was towed or a power steering repair was carried out. Observe the PSP V PID while checking the wires for intermittent concerns.
