There is a magnasteer connector on the rack. it interfaces with the PCM and ABS and uses an ELECRTOMAGNET to boost pump pressure at low speeds and less pressure at high speeds. You should use the DIC and read your DTCs to see if the PCM or ABS DTC and the Rack Magnasteer are functioning properly.
If its not, it will set a PCM DTC.
