3. CHECK FOR FOAMING OR EMULSIFICATION
HINT: Foaming and emulsification indicate either the exis-
tence of air in the system or that the fluid level is too low.
4. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON II
HINT: Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL
of the tank. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the
COLD LEVEL of the tank.
CHECK IDLE±UP
1. WARM UP ENGINE
2. TURN AIR CONDITIONER SWITCH OFF
3. CHECK IDLE±UP
(a) Fully turn the steering wheel.
(b) Check that the engine rpm decreases when the air
control valve hose is pinched.
(c) Check that the engine rpm increases when the air
control valve hose is released.
On±Vehicle Inspection
CHECK DRIVE BELT TENSION
Using a belt tension gauge, check the drive belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:
Nippondenso BTG±20 (95506±00020) or
Borroughs No.BT±33±73F
Drive belt tension:
New belt 125
+25 Ib
Used belt 80
+20 Ib
HINT:
wºNew beltº refers to a belt which has been less than 5
minutes on a running engine.
wºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a
running engine for 5 minutes or more.
wAfter installing the drive belt, check that it fits properly
in the ribbed grooves.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
1. KEEP VEHICLE LEVEL
2. BOOST FLUID TEMPERATURE
With the engine idling at 1,000 rpm or less, turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock to lock several times to boost fluid tem-
perature.
Fluid temperature: 80
°C (176°F)
