Steering column coupling
The power assisted steering gear is of the conventional rack and pinion type. The steering gear is mounted on the crossmember. The steering gear cannot be disassembled.
Hydraulic fluid is supplied under pressure to the steering gear by a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump is driven by the accessory drive belt and has a remote fluid reservoir located on the right-hand side of the engine compartment. The power steering pump cannot be disassembled. Install a new unit.
A power steering pressure (PSP) switch located in the power steering pressure line is normally closed. When the power steering load is increased, the PSP switch opens, signalling the powertrain control module to increase the engine idle speed.

Electro-hydraulic power steering reservoir/pump
Vehicles with the 1.8L Endura DI engine and air conditioning have a electro-hydraulic power steering pump.
The electro-hydraulic power steering pump consists of an electro-hydraulic motor and reservoir and is located in the engine compartment at the front on the left-hand side. The fuse and relay are located next to one another on the battery mounting tray.
As soon as the engine is running, the control relay of the electric power steering pump receives a signal from the EEC V PCM. The relay then closes and the pump starts to operate.
