P0553 Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input

Diagnostic trouble code P0553 indicates that there is a high input in the power steering pressure sensor circuit. Here are the steps to diagnose and fix the problem:

  1. Inspect the wiring and connections: Check the wiring and connections to ensure that there are no obvious signs of damage or corrosion. If there are any issues, repair or replace the damaged parts.

  2. Test the power steering pressure sensor: Use a multimeter to test the power steering pressure sensor. If the sensor is faulty, replace it.

  3. Check the power steering pump: A faulty power steering pump can also cause a high input in the power steering pressure sensor circuit. Test the power steering pump and replace it if necessary.

  4. Check the power steering fluid level: A high input in the power steering pressure sensor circuit can also be caused by overfilled power steering fluid. Check the power steering fluid level and drain it to the correct level if necessary.

  5. Reset the Check Engine Light: After repairing the problem, reset the Check Engine Light using an OBD-II scanner.

If you are not confident in your ability to diagnose and fix the problem, it is recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or dealership for repair. A certified technician will have the expertise and diagnostic tools necessary to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
