I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma supercharged TRD. The power steering went

I've had the steering rack replaced, and the power steering pump my son cleaned the screen at the bottom of the reservoir. I just had it looked at at Les Schwab and they said there is a sensor by the power steering pump with a couple wires coming out of it that will cause it not to work does anybody know what they're talking about?

 

Doubt the wires have anything to do with the power steering pump. The pump is driven by a belt off the engine. Is it hard to turn the steering wheel?

 

Yes it's like no power steering at all

 

How about when you are driving down the road? Hard to turn or easier as you roll faster?

 

Sometimes it kind of feels like it's working a little better as I'm going down the road

 

Sounds like either your pump or your rack is gone.

 

I've already replaced both those but I did get a used pump. And Les Schwab told me that it was either the pump or the air control valve or sensor or whatever they were talking about

 

The power steering would go out then it would come back on. So I replace the pump. And then it went out completely. So I replace the rack. And it still doesn't work

 

Was the air from the system removed properly? Could be just air in the system. Jack up the front with the PS cap off. Turn the wheel back and forth.

 

Could it be the power steering air control valve? And thank you so much for your help I appreciate it.we bled it also

 

So Les Schwab just called me. And said that it is a sensor that's on the front of my power steering pump.So Les Schwab just called me period and said that it is a sensor that's on the front of my power steering pump. Sew Les Schwab just called me. And said that it is a sensor that's on the front of my power steering pump.

 

I am getting the feeling...Les Schwab called you at some point.

 

Omg lol. My phone's been crazy since I dropped it in hot tub yesterday... Sorry

 

Well...if you have a hot tub....things can't be all bad

 

I wish I could drop my phone in a hot tub

 

Lol...wish I could drop my phone in anything but a work scenario

 

I wish I knew how to fix this truck lol. I'm going top go to shop today. Was just hoping I could figure it out.

 

If its a 2000 Toyota Tacoma, I am pretty sure there is not a sensor or air or anything else on the power steering.
