The sensor at the Power Steering pressure hose in a Peugeot 406 monitors the hydraulic pressure within the steering system. It helps ensure optimal performance by detecting changes in pressure, which can indicate issues such as fluid leaks or system malfunctions. This information is relayed to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU), allowing for adjustments to assist with steering response and enhance overall driving safety. Proper functioning of the sensor is crucial for maintaining effective power steering operation.

The power steering pressure sensor is located on the front of the power steering pump. It is circular and has one wire going to it.

On the back side of the power steering pump
Where is the IAT sensor in a peugeot 207
There is a sensor on the power steering pressure hose that tells the ECM when the pressure increases which is an indication that you are turning the wheel. When the pressure goes up the ECM automatically increases the idle speed to compensate. If the pressure sensor fails then the ECM doesn't know you turned the wheels so it doesn't boost the idle speed and the engine may stall. So check the power steering pressure sensor.
EVO sensor. Also known as steering speed sensor.
Located on the power steering gear box by the front cross member.
It is in the pressure line just behind the pump.
It screws into the pressure line at the rear of the engine.
behind the pump on the steel line.it has a plug connected to it.
