Test Procedure
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect power steering switch one pin harness connector. See Fig 1
. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and power steering switch harness connector (Green/Yellow wire). Voltage should be approximately 10-15 volts. If voltage is specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, repair open or short circuit as necessary and go to step 3
.
- With power steering switch disconnected, check for poor contact due to bent, damage or misplaced connector terminal. If connector terminal is okay, temporarily install a known good power steering switch and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace power steering switch and go to next step.
- After repair, return vehicle to original condition. Clear codes using Hi-Scan Pro/Kia Data Pro Scan tool or equivalent. Verify repairs by driving vehicle and monitoring for pending codes. If DTC is set during test drive, follow appropriate DTC test procedure.
