If a problem occurs in the electric power steering system, the p/s warning light will come on in the combination meter and steering power assist will be stopped, fixed at a particular point, or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.

Hint:
The amount of power assist may be decreased to prevent the motor and ecus from overheating if the steering wheel is continuously turned when the vehicle is either stopped or driven at a low speed, or if the steering wheel is kept at either full lock position for a long time. In such cases, the amount of power assist returns to normal if the steering wheel is not turned for approximately 10 minutes with the engine idling.

Pressure control solenoid "A " performance (shift solenoid valve sl1)
Description
The ecm uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear
position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or
o/d gear).
Then the ecm compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ecm memory
to detect mechanical
problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic ...
