DTC P1651: - Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch Input

DTC P1651: - POWER STEERING PRESSURE (PSP) SWITCH INPUT

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 PID while checking the wires for intermittent concerns.
