It is always running, increasing assist as the wheel is turned. No separate module.

The only thing part of the p/s system that goes on and off is the power steering fan. Be sure to inspect it and to make sure it's working - you can turn on the AC, which should kick it on. Also, spin it with your hand when you're under the vehicle to make sure it spins freely without any issues.
Rebuilt pumps can be purchased here: 2002 Mini Cooper Base Hatchback - Steering System - Page 1. More info on the fan here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/MINI/48-SUSPEN-Power_Steering_Fan_Replacement/48-SUSPEN-Power_Steering_Fan_Replacement.htm |
