Rein ELP0144 Power Steering Pressure Sensor

Power Steering Pressure Switch Overview

Rein ELP0144 is an OE-quality power steering pressure sensor built to factory specifications for accurate steering system feedback. It is used on select Acura and Honda applications, including Acura RDX, Acura TSX, Acura RSX, Honda CR-V, Honda Accord, and Honda Element.

Rein ELP0144 is manufactured with copper electrical circuit components for strong conductivity and low resistive loss, and it uses a vehicle-specific connector for direct replacement. This power steering pressure switch is 100% tested for mechanical and electrical performance.

Key Features

• OE-quality power steering pressure sensor for factory-style operation
• Designed to meet or exceed factory specifications
• Copper electrical circuit components for superior conductivity
• Vehicle-specific connector for quicker replacement
• 100% tested for mechanical and electrical performance
• Rein part number ELP0144

Detailed Description

The power steering pressure switch monitors steering system pressure and can provide warning feedback when system pressure drops. In some vehicles, it also sends steering demand input to the ECU so engine speed can be adjusted during low-speed steering events. On applications such as the 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2002-2011 Honda CR-V, 2007-2012 Acura RDX, 2004-2008 Acura TSX, 2002-2006 Acura RSX, and 2003 Honda Element, a failing switch can contribute to dashboard warning lights or unstable engine speed during parking and other low-speed maneuvers. Rein ELP0144 is built for direct OE-style replacement and consistent electrical response.

This part cross-references Honda/Acura OE number 56490PNA003 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Power steering warning light on the dashboard
• Erratic engine speed during low-speed steering
• Loss of steering pressure signal to the ECU
• Faulty pressure switch electrical readings
• Replacement of a worn or failed steering pressure sensor

Installation Notes

Verify connector style and thread/port match before installation. Inspect the surrounding power steering system for leaks, damaged wiring, or contaminated fluid before replacing the sensor. Clear any stored diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper operation during steering input.
