Just heads up on newer Honda’s 2007+ , if you get a whine on cold starts or when turning wheel when cold it very well could be a bad O-ring on pump inlet connection . very cheap and 5 min job, easy access only 1 bolt on inlet tube to remove .
So worth a shot if you have the whine before replacing whole PS pump .This affects both 2.4L and 3.5L V6 , the symptoms are along with noise at cold starts is air bubbles in the reservoir tank cause by the O-ring letting in air .
