DESCRIPTION
This signal is used by the PCM to increase the idle speed when the vehicle is in a parking maneuver. The PSP switch is a normally open switch.
When the power steering pressure is high, the switch will close. When the switch closes, the PCM will increase idle speed to compensate for the
additional load.
