Code P0551?

at 950 miles my car started throwing this code. it has something to do with the power steering system. im taking it to mitsubishi tomorrow to get it fixed. has anyone else heard of this or had any problems with the power steering system?

Back from Mitsubishi: They said that its my power steering pressure switch. They tested it and it is working properly. I guess it is supposed to tighten up the handling as you speed increases. They said that the only thing that they can think of is that i went from 0-100 in less that a second. So they just reset it and its good for now. But my question to ya'll is: What other reasons are there that it threw a code?

I had mine replaced under warranty. Didn't get a code though, it just didn't work @ low RPM's.
