Re: Replaced Power Steering Pump Today
Well, lets start at the begining. Are you confused by the "low speed steering assist"? If so, it's one of those "fun to drive" features. The p.s. pump supplies more assist at parking lot speeds and such, so that it makes parking much easier. It's a really nice feature, actually. Then, as the car speeds up, the steering is supposed to stiffen to generate a good road feel.
Lately, I was feeling no extra assist in parking lots. The steering was normal for any other car in a parking lot, but for my car, it was not. It was not supply extra assist in the parking lots. It was like this feature completely vanished.
I looked into this by going straight to the manual. The only thing in the manual related to the "low speed steering assist" was a fuse under the hood in the fuse relay box. This fuse also supports the ABS though, so if this fuse was out, the ABS light would be on. Therefore, I quickly dispelled the notion that it was just a fuse. That's when I took the vehicle to the dealer to get looked at and they then replaced the p.s. pump.
I hope this helps and thank you for helping out with your posting. I appreciate it!
