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.

Chevrolet Blazer V6-4.3L - Oil Change - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Very clean appearance, on time, called when he arrived,even thought I wasn't outside, hand shake when we met, explained what had to be done too my chevy blazer and check to make sure what had to be done was getting done. Then as he checked , he found out only the lesser amount needed to get done. True honest mechanic, other shop mechaics quoted the more expensive work.Compled the job, clean up and removed the old parts and made sure everything was up and running and was very, very happy with his work and he also save me a ton of money. and it is my pleasure to express my appreciation to him for the exceptional manner in which he did his job on my vehicle. His innovation skills are the best I have ever seen in a mechanic. He will be my "new" mechanic from now on in,again,I thank you for a job well done, you have made me very happy......

Chevrolet Blazer V6-4.3L - Brake Rotor/Disc Replacement (Front) - Huntington Beach, California
I was thrilled to find this service. I had been putting off doing my brakes. When I came across yourmechanic.com at first I was skeptical but when Chris showed up, a half an hour early, I was sold. He took care of my brakes in a pretty precarious parking spot and finished the job in record time. I was impressed. I could not be more thankful for your service. So many buissness have lost sight of personal service, yourmechanic.com truly caters to the clients needs, old school. I have been telling friends about my experience. I myself will be using the service from here on out. I really like that I could ask for help in diagnosing issues and get a quote right away and suggestions for further service. Thank you yourmechanic.com, thank you Chris. Now a believer Angela H
