position, pressure sensing switch (14) in the primary
hydraulic system senses when hydraulic pressure has
been lost or is below the minimum acceptable level. The
sensing switch (14) electrically tells the supplemental
steering electronic control module that there is a loss of
pressure. The control then turns on electric motor (6).
This motor (6) drives hydraulic pump (8) for
supplemental steering.
