Simply put: When your engine is running. It turns your power steering pump. Which pressurizes your power steering fluid. The fluid is sent via hose, to your power steering rack, or stearing gear box.

How does an power steering works?
Power steering is used to help the driver turn the wheel. Power steering is powered by a fluid held within the reservoir, where you put the power steering fluid into. Then, the power steering pump takes over. That pumps the steering fluid to the steering gearbox, which flows to the valve body unit (kind of like a crank). Once you turn the wheel to the left or to the right, the computer tells the steering fluid to push against the crank to make the wheels move, taking less stress off the driver. You usually find power steering in bigger vehicles, such as pick up trucks, big rigs, bigger cars, etc. You won't find it in smaller cars because it's already easy to turn.

Can substitute power steering fluid with transmission fluid?
Most cars that call for normal power steering fluid can take transmission fluid as a substitute but there are exceptions. Hondas MUST use power steering fluids that meet Honda's spec and must never use ATF. German cars must use Pentosin mineral oil that costs about $50 per litre. Some cars specify Dexron-III/Mercon ATF for their power steering systems like Nissan and Toyota. Just remember to NEVER use Ford Type-F ATF, only fluids that meet or exceed the Dexron-III/Mercon spec can be used as a substitute in vehicles that specify "power steering fluid". Never put power steering fluid in the transmission.
