P1652 IAC Monitor Disabled by PSP Switch Failed On

The OBD2 code P1652 indicates that the Idle Air Control (IAC) monitor has been disabled due to a failure detected by the Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch

Definition

The OBD2 code P1652 indicates that the Idle Air Control (IAC) monitor has been disabled due to a failure detected by the Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch

Common causes

  • Faulty Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch
  • Wiring issues or poor connections in the PSP circuit
  • Malfunctioning Idle Air Control (IAC) valve
  • Vacuum leaks affecting engine performance
  • Faulty engine control module (ECM)
  • Incorrectly calibrated or malfunctioning throttle position sensor (TPS)
  • Issues with the vehicle's power steering system

Common misdiagnoses

  • Faulty IAC (Idle Air Control) valve
  • Throttle body issues
  • Wiring or connector problems
  • Faulty PSP (Power Steering Pressure) switch
  • Engine control module (ECM) issues
  • Vacuum leaks
  • Incorrectly calibrated throttle position sensor (TPS)

Troubleshooting steps

  1. 1. Check the Power Steering Pressure Switch:

    Inspect the Switch: Locate the power steering pressure switch and inspect it for any visible damage, corrosion, or loose connections

  2. 2. Test the Switch

    Use a multimeter to test the switch for proper operation. Check for continuity when the steering wheel is turned and ensure it is functioning within the manufacturer's specifications

  3. 3. Inspect Wiring and Connectors:

    Check Wiring: Inspect the wiring harness connected to the power steering pressure switch for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage

  4. 4. Check Connectors

    Ensure that all connectors are secure and free of corrosion. Clean any corroded connectors and ensure a good connection

  5. 5. Check for Power Steering Fluid Leaks:

    Inspect for Leaks: Check the power steering system for any fluid leaks that could affect the pressure readings

  6. 6. Fluid Level

    Ensure that the power steering fluid level is within the recommended range

  7. 7. Scan for Additional Codes:

    Check for Other Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any additional trouble codes that may be present. Other codes may provide more context for the issue

  8. 8. Test the IAC Valve:

    Inspect the IAC Valve: Check the Idle Air Control valve for proper operation. Clean or replace it if necessary

  9. 9. Check for Vacuum Leaks

    Inspect the intake system for any vacuum leaks that could affect idle control

  10. 10. Clear Codes and Test Drive:

    Clear Codes: After addressing any issues found, clear the trouble codes using an OBD-II scanner

  11. 11. Test Drive

    Take the vehicle for a test drive to see if the code reappears. Monitor the IAC operation and engine idle during the drive

  12. 12. Seek Professional Help:

    Professional Diagnosis: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider seeking help from a qualified mechanic or automotive technician who can perform more in-depth diagnostics. By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue related to the P1652 code. Always ensure safety precautions are taken when working on a vehicle
