Question

What causes power steering pressure sensor "erratic readings"?

Answer

Loose sensor mounting and damaged wiring insulation.

Explain

Erratic readings cause variable steering assist. CHEPQ tools check sensor mounting torque (15-20 ft-lbs) and wiring insulation—securing the sensor and repairing wires resolves the issue.
