WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect the following if the power steering is inoperative (See POWER STEERING FLUID INSPECTION .):
    • Power steering fluid level
    • Power steering fluid leakage
    • Power steering fluid pressure
  2. Disconnect the PSP switch connector.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Inspect for continuity between the PSP switch terminal and GND using an ohmmeter.
    • If not as specified, replace the PSP switch.
    • If the PSP switch is okay, but PID value or PCM terminal 55 voltage are out of specification, perform the CIRCUIT OPEN/SHORT INSPECTION .
