The sensor detects the load on the steering gear. Information about the steering gear load is transmitted to the control unit, which regulates the IACV-AAC valve to increase the idle speed.
Examination
- After disconnecting the sensor harness connector, start the engine.
- Check the continuity between terminals (1) and (2).
- When turning the steering wheel, there should be continuity. If you don't turn the steering wheel, there will be no conductivity.
