What is the Power Steering Control Valve all about?

Power steering pumps create high pressure in order to push fluid through the system, into the power steering rack, and provide good handling. There are many different components that play critical roles in this process, and the power steering control valve is one of them. You might be more familiar with this as the flow-control valve.

In most setups, the power steering control valve is located at the outlet of the pump, where the fluid leaves the pump and enters the supply line. It regulates the pressure of the fluid in the line to the correct PSI. If the valve fails, the fluid pressure may become too low or too high. Excessive pressure can cause damage to the supply line, creating leaks and fire hazards (power steering fluid is flammable).

Keep in mind:

The power steering control valve is not part of any service or maintenance regimen.
It is not possible to check the valve for operation during basic maintenance, so it will only be inspected if there is a problem.
Failure of the control valve will create problems with steering and handling.
In most instances, valve failure will require replacement of the power steering pump itself.

How it's done:

The power steering control valve is checked for replacement
The power steering control valve is removed
The new power steering control valve is installed
The power steering system is refilled and checked for leaks
The engine is run and the power steering system operation is checked

Our recommendation:

While the power steering valve does not require any regular maintenance you may request that it is diagnosed if your car exhibits any of the symptoms. Your power steering system is an important component of your vehicle, ensuring simplified handling through all types of turns. However, a failing power steering control valve can cause drops in fluid pressure, creating harder steering. Have any malfunction or problem with your power steering system inspected by one of our expert mechanics immediately.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Power Steering Control Valve?

Hard steering at higher speeds
Whining noise during turning

How important is this service?

Your power steering system might not be as critical to vehicle operation as the engine and transmission, but it enhances safety and makes steering easier. If you notice any problems with your power steering system, have the vehicle inspected and the problem diagnosed as soon as possible.

Audi A6 Quattro V6-3.0L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Hampton, Virginia

Todd was fantastic. His overall assessment of the car was thorough, but there were some things I wanted him to pay special attention to that were specific to reported concerns with the mfg. This is where he earned my respect and appreciation. First, he was 100% up front with what he knows and doesn't know regarding the questions I asked him to look into. Big plus right there! He gave an in-depth feedback on what he learned - both from his inspection, and from searching online - big thanks! He was also upfront about his automotive expertise, where I learned he's a real pro. I'm not a car person, and my hearing leaves a lot to be desired lol, but I was easily able to follow and understand him. His honesty, expertise, thoroughness, and the ease I had in talking with him made this a great experience with Todd and Your Mechanic. I'd recommend him again in a heartbeat. Cars is his passion, and customer service comes naturally to him. Thank you so much, Todd!!
