Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code means the power steering pressure sensor is sending a signal that's too low, often close to zero volts. It typically points to a wiring short to ground, an open circuit, a bad connector, or a failed sensor. Most repairs involve replacing the sensor or repairing the wiring and connector in its circuit.
$130 – $350
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Usually yes. The steering still works mechanically, so short-term driving is safe. You may experience rough idle or near-stalling when turning at low speed. Get it checked soon to avoid stalling in traffic or while parking.
Most repairs run between $130 and $350. Replacing the sensor is the common fix, while repairing a shorted or broken wire can vary the cost. A diagnosis confirms whether the sensor or its wiring is at fault before any parts are bought.
It's moderate. It won't disable your steering or damage the engine, but the idle and stalling issues can be inconvenient and occasionally unsafe in slow traffic. Repairing it restores stable idle when turning.
Low input means the sensor's voltage signal dropped below its normal range, usually from a short to ground, a broken wire, or a failed sensor. A technician tests the circuit to find whether it's the wiring or the sensor itself before replacing anything.
