Electric power steering pump?

Your vehicle could have either of two types of power steering , electric or hydraulic . With electric it would have a DC electric motor .

Maybe it doesn't have one , could have electric power steering . Look under the driver side I/P on the steering column .
Electric Power Steering (EPS) Module (without NVH)
Under the left instrument panel knee bolster, to the left of the steering column
If you see a electric motor attached to the steering column , you have EPS

the 2007 HHR doesn't have a power steering pump, it has electric steering with the electric motor located on the steering column under the dash.

Maybe it doesn't have a place to put power steering fluid ! Could be it has Electronic Power Steering (electric )
Power Steering Motor
The power steering motor is a 12-volt brushless DC reversible motor with a 65-amp rating. The motor assists steering through a worm gear and reduction gear located in the steering column housing.

CAUTION: While repairing the power steering system, care should be taken to prevent the entry of contaminants or premature failure of the power steering components may result.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02 .

1. Using a suitable suction device, siphon the power steering fluid from the power steering fluid reservoir.

1. Remove the RH inner fender splash shield. For additional information, refer to Section 501-02 .

1. Using the special tool, disengage the power steering pump belt from the power steering pump pulley and position it aside.
   • Install the removal tool between the belt and the pulley and turn the crankshaft bolt clockwise to disengage the belt.

1. Remove the 4 bolts and position the driveshaft aside.

1. Using a suitable jack, support the rear of the subframe.

This vehicle may not be equipped with a power steering pump. It may have electric power assist. If it is equipped with a power steering pump it will be on the belt side of the engine about center and close to the top

Um.......... If you have the 3.5 engine........... there is no power steering pump. It is all electric. And its garbage. You can thank GM for taking the cheap way out.. its all electric. That's why so many people are having problems with power steering and so many people are getting in crashes.

It's electric. A fuse is located under the hood in the fuse box. It works like a magnet.

Your Cobalt is not equipped with a Power Steering Pump. It is equipped with electric power steering. See the description below.


Power Steering - System Description and Operation
The electric power steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, EPS motor, serial data bus, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center to perform the system functions. The PSCM, torque sensor, not the EPS motor are serviced separately from each other or from the steering column. Any EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly.

if you have a hydraulic power steering pump it is located on the side next to the firewall and serpentine belt. useing a flash light may help.if your steering is electric there is no fluid.the electric motor is under the dash on the drivers side. hope this helps.
