Thread: power steering sensor wire

  1. #1

    Default power steering sensor wire

    So where does the sensor wire on a 97 ps rack connect to the harness? Shop manual is no help in converting a manual to ps. But maybe it is not required.

    I'm familiar with the wire that runs to the ps pump, but I guess I'm forgetting about one that runs to the rack. Rogue?

    What would this wire do at the rack?

    There is no wiring to the rack, he's talking about the Pressure switch wire going to the ECU.
    Never had an issue with leaving the PS wire just unplugged.
    I can't imagine it would make much of a difference to a pre-OBD-II ECU.
    William converted his Rpack to an STO, so he may have insight.

    The pressure switch is wired into the ECU to raise the idle when the wheel is turned.
