Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Power steering solenoid valve
Description
Power steering solenoid valve controls the power steering oil pressure in the gear housing assembly.
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE SIGNAL
- Start engine.
- Check voltage between power steering control unit connector
M59 terminal 1 and ground
2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE AND POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT FOR OPEN
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect power steering solenoid valve connector.
- Disconnect power steering control unit connector.
- Check continuity between power steering solenoid valve connector
E14 (A) terminals 1, 2 and power steering control unit
connector M59 (B) terminal 1, 5.
3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE AND POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT FOR SHO
- Check continuity between power steering solenoid valve connector
E14 terminals 1, 2 and ground. - Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check voltage between power steering solenoid valve connector
E14 terminals 1, 2 and ground.
4.CHECK POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE
Perform power steering solenoid valve component inspection.
5.CHECK TERMINALS AND HARNESS CONNECTORS
- Check power steering control unit pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
- Check power steering solenoid valve pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.

1.POWER STEERING SOLENOID VALVE RESISTANCE CHECK
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect power steering solenoid valve connector.
- Check resistance between power steering solenoid valve terminals
1 and 2
Check power steering solenoid valve by listening for its operation
sound
while applying battery voltage to power steering solenoid
valve terminal 1
(positive) and battery ground to terminal 2 (negative).
Power supply and ground circuit

Other materials:
P1720 VSS
Description
ECM receives two vehicle speed signals via the CAN communication line. One is
sent from "ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit)" via the combination meter, and the other is from
TCM (Transmission control module).
ECM uses these signals for engine control.

Optical sensor
Description
The optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and
transmits the optical sensor signal to the BCM.
Component Function Check
1.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL BY CONSULT
CONSULT
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Select "OPTICAL SENSOR" of BCM (HEAD LAMP ...
Tilt sensor
Description
The tilt sensor is installed to the steering column assembly.
The pulse signal is input to the driver seat control unit when the tilt
is operated.
The driver seat control unit counts the pulse and calculates the
tilt amount of the steering column.
