2022 Jeep Wrangler Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering User Manual

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering system that provides increased vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. The system adapts to different driving conditions. If the Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering system experiences a fault that prevents it from providing power steering assist, then the system will provide mechanical steering capability.

CAUTION

Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the electrically driven pump to reduce or stop power steering assistance in order to prevent damage to the system. Normal operation will resume once the system is allowed to cool.

• If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” message and a flashing icon are displayed on the instrument cluster screen, it indicates that the vehicle needs to be taken to an authorized dealer for service. It is likely the vehicle has lost power steering assistance page 120.
• If the “POWER STEERING HOT” message and an icon are displayed on the instrument cluster screen, it indicates that extreme steering maneuvers may have occurred, which caused an over-temperature condition in the power steering system. You will lose power steering assistance momentarily until the over-temperature condition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few moments until the light turns off page 120.

NOTE

• Even if power steering assistance is no longer operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions, there will be a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see an authorized dealer for service.
