Power Steering Pressure Sensor

Power Steering Pressure Sensor


The Power Steering Pressure Sensor is used by the ECU to monitor pressure, and to perform tasks such as idle up when the pressure increases. The pressure sensor will also highlight any diagnostics in the Software if the pressure exceeds the indicated max or falls below the indicated minimum.



On this node, the Power Steering Pressure sensor calibration can be loaded or entered manually. If you have purchased a Pressure sensor from Haltech, calibrations can be loaded directly into the calibration table by using the 'Load from File' button. Calibrations can be saved to file by using the 'Save to File' button. 

Display



This node sets the display settings for the Power Steering Pressure channel. 

Warning Minimum

Sets the pressure at which the Power Steering Pressure sensor Number Displays, Gauges and Bars will enter their lower warning state.

Warning Maximum

Sets the pressure at which the Power Steering Pressure sensor Number Displays, Gauges and Bars will enter their upper warning state.

Diagnostics



This node allows the enabling of high and low voltage DTCs for the Power Steering Pressure sensor.
A DTC severity can be set for each voltage, which will trigger an Engine Protection level for the relevant setting.


Wiring



This node allows you to assign the input for the Power Steering Pressure sensor. 
Pressure Sensors use an Analog Input. Any available AVI can be used.
It is recommended to disable the Pull Up.
