ONE-WAY VALVE (IN POWER STEERING SPEED SENSOR)

When the vehicle is moving at high speed, negative pressure develops at the sensor inlet because the power steering speed sensor is pumping faster
than the fluid can be supplied. To compensate for this, the outlet and inlet ports are connected internally by a passage containing a one-way valve that
lets output fluid recirculate to the inlet port to equalize pressure.
