What this code means

Common causes

  • Faulty PSP switch
  • Wiring issue
  • Low power steering fluid

Diagnostic steps

  1. Turn steering wheel during KOER self-test
  2. Test PSP switch operation
  3. Check power steering fluid level
  4. Inspect PSP switch wiring

Repair notes

Turn steering wheel during self-test. Replace PSP switch if faulty.
