Electronic Steering?
My power steering is leaking somewhere around the pump area. I thought I’d find out how much a replacement pump is and the parts dude asks me if it has “electronic steering”. What the…? Can any of you BC gods tell me what electronic steering is and how I tell whether or not my car has it? My guess is no, I don’t have it, but I’ve actually been wrong before. Once, I think.

since you have the SSE, you need to check the RPO codes that are located on the spare tire cover
we need to know if you have....
FE1 or FE2
and if
T2V is listed on the code list

You need the standard pump then. Not the electronic (T2V increases line pressure to decrease steering effort at slow speeds, then tightens up your steering at high speeds).

On the SLE, I have the T2V that helps at low speeds, but the 'loser' SE rack. I hate it on the freeway in comparison. I find I have to 'actively steer' a bit more than the SSEi, and don't quite have the positive feedback. It'* a little too touchy in fast, hard turns.
It'* a little odd. Most cars with FE2 got the tighter rack by default. I didn't on the SLE. :?
