is there a way to test a power steering computer ?

my GXL had power steering but it was hella hard to move ( i put a new pump in still hard )

i was going to put all the power steering in my T2

i know the rack needs help haha soo i'm going to buy a new one PM me if you have a good PS rack.

well, if you have a 87 or 86, the power steering computer has built in diagnostics, and beeps refering to what the error; is if it is not working.

The power steering should be smooth with the same effort at 10 mph as at 50 mph. If it is harder at lower speeds then chances are the power steering computer is either unplugged, has a blown fuse or is bad. There also should not be any abrupt changes in how easy or how hard the steering is (like it suddenly gets harder to turn when accellerating- or real easy to turn when decellerating around a corner).


I do have most models of the power steering computers rebuilt now available on my webstore/ website if it turns out you need one.

and its HARD all the time but it is (on)

Grim129

so ?

razorback

didnt see your message, and it should work for your s4 i dont see why it wouldnt, icemark will it?

Icemark

yeah, you can swap power steering computers as long as they are both from S4 models (although the 86 models tend to have more steering boost at all speeds)

razorback

what about the rack itself? are they backwards compatible?

Icemark

yeah, all speed sensing steering racks are interchangeable regardless of FC year

ok thanks, thought so, but had to be 100 percent sure.
