WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
# d. `: L1 G, rWHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.
