Just a guess - the switch function is probably to tell the brain there is sufficient fluid pressure. If there is insufficient pressure or the switch or wiring is faulty a warning light is likely to switch on...
When turning the wheels tight, like a tight parking spot, the pressure switch sends a command to the control module to idle up the engine speed to both prevent stalling and assist power boost .
Yes if this switch is shorted out or just finished it will make the light come on do you feel like the steering is a little bit more resistant then before this is possible also make sure your fluid level is in the right spot when cold it expands when hot and will give a full or close to full reading but less pressure and the switch is sensing it illuminating the light
