    What Does P0552 Mean?

    OBD-II Code Engine may stall when pulling into a parking spot is defined as a Power Steering Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Low

    The Power Steering Pressure Sensor tells the engine control module (PCM) that the engine idle speed needs to to be held at a specified level while the driver is operating the Power Steering System at slow vehicle speeds. This is because high levels of hydraulic pressure are needed from the Power Steering Pump in order for the Power Steering system to steer the vehicle at slow speeds. Creating this pressure puts additional load on the engine and commonly occurs when parking the vehicle. When the PCM detects an inaccurate or irrational signal, it sets code P0552.

    What are the common causes of P0552 ?
    • An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code
    • Rusty exhaust systems, cracked exhaust manifolds or damaged or missing gaskets or donuts will cause air leaks.
    • A large vacuum leak would cause a massive amount of un-metered air to enter the intake manifold resulting in an overly lean mixture.

    How do you troubleshoot P0552 ?

    Seeing as how a faulty power steering pressure sensor is usually to blame, your mechanic will most likely replace yours and that will be the end of it. Otherwise, they may:
    • Replace or repair the steering pump
    • Replace or repair the rack and pinion
    • Address any wires or electrical components that have been compromised
    • Replace the power steering fluid
