  • Help with error codes

    Got my car scanned at Autozone, here's what I got:

    P0102
    MAF sensor circuit, low input

    P1406
    EGR valve system performance (guess it needs to be cleaned)

    P1561
    PSP switch input faliure (what the hell is a PSP switch!?! No one there knew!)

    P1562
    IAC monitor diaabled because "PSP switch faliure" on

    Can anybody help me with this? Nobody had a clue what a PSP switch was, neither do I. Car seems to be running fine, the SES light just comes on from time to time. First I thought it was my manual fan switch, but these are the only codes I got. I did just finish a 800 mi drive back down from Michigan a couple days ago, the SES light came on about halfway down.

      power steering pressure switch (no offense to anyone here that works at autozone, but this is one of the problems i have with them pulling codes... they should have known this). if you are not having any power steering problems, this switch and its circuit to/from pcm may be faulty.

      the purpose of the switch is to increase rpm's when it senses power steering pump is under a heavy load, like when drivng in parking lots at low speeds. both the psp codes are due to (probably) a fault in the PSP sensor/switch circuit to/from pcm.

      i think the maf and egr codes may also be related. maybe correct diagnosis of either the maf circuit and sensor and the egr circuit and actuator/sensor will take care of both these first codes you listed.

      actually, it is possible (i'm not sure how probable) that a bad PSP circuit could be causing all 4 codes.
