Power Steering
Electric power steering is standard and required on all advanced midsection (AMS) models. It may also be optionally installed
on conventional midsection (CMS) models. The electric pump receives a signal to turn on from the 3‑pin signal harness on the
engine. The pump should only operate while the engine is running. Refer to the troubleshooting procedure below if the pump is
not operating.
