Product Overview
A leaking switch, unstable idle while turning at parking speed, or a pressure-switch circuit fault can lead to this sensor after fluid level, pump output, wiring, and steering load are checked. The switch tells the engine controller when the hydraulic steering system is under load.
The old title claimed an overly broad 1990-2017 range. The 56490-PNA-003 application is narrower and tied to specific hydraulic-steering models. Match the stamped number, thread, electrical connector, engine, and production year; later electric power steering systems do not use this hydraulic switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this switch cause idle speed to dip while parking? A: Yes, if the ECU does not receive the correct steering-load signal, but pump and engine problems can also cause it.
Q: Will it fit every Honda or Acura from 1990-2017? A: No. Fitment is limited to compatible hydraulic systems using 56490-PNA-003.
Q: Does it replace a steering fluid leak anywhere in the system? A: Only a leak from the switch itself; hoses, pump, rack, and seals are separate.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
