This essential sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system and communicates directly with the Engine Control Unit (ECU). During low-speed maneuvers—such as parallel parking or tight turns—the power steering pump places a significant load on the engine. This switch detects the pressure increase and signals the ECU to adjust the idle speed, preventing the engine from stumbling, surging, or stalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eBuilt with high-quality brass threads and a heat-resistant composite housing, this switch is designed to withstand the high-pressure environment of the steering system. It serves as a direct-fit replacement for the factory unit, ensuring a leak-free seal and reliable electrical connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003ch2
