ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF 4-WHEEL STEERING 1 0
SPEED SENSOR (IN METER)
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between 2A (GR) terminal of
the control unit connector and a body ground.
3. Start the engine. Check that periodic voltage is de-
tected when turning'the front wheels slowly.
4. If periodic voltage is not detected, check the wir-
ing harness. Replace the speed sensor if
necessary.
86U10X-233
SPEED SENSOR (AT TRANSAXLE)
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between R (O) terminal of the
control unit connector and a body ground.
3. Start the engine. Check that periodic voltage is de-
tected when turning the front wheels slowly.
4. If periodic voltage is not detected, check the wir-
ing harness. Replace the speed sensor if
necessary.
86U10X-234
REAR-TO-FRONT STEERING RATIO SENSOR
Check the resistance between the terminals with an
ohmmeter.
Terminal [ Resistance
GB—GO l 3.5—6.5 kfi
GB—GW ' 3.2—5.9 kfi
If
the resistance is not within specification, replace the
rear steering gear assembly.
86U10X-235
OIL LEVEL SWITCH (IN P/S RESERVOIR)
Check for continuity of the switch with an ohmmeter.
Fluid level Continuity
More than L No
Less than L Yes
If
the continuity is not within specification, replace the
P/S reservoir.

VACUUM PUMP 1 1
VACUUM PUMP
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose and release the re-
maining vacuum.
2. Connect a vacuum gauge as shown in the figure.
3. Run the engine at idle speed.
Idle speed: 720 1 20 rpm
4. Check that the vacuum reaches 500 mmHg (19.7
inHg) in 8 seconds or less.
5. Check that the maximum vacuum is within approx.
700—720 mmHg (27.6—28.3 inHg) in 80 sec-
onds or less.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Remove in the sequence shown in the figure.
2. Install in the reverse order of removal, referring to installation note for specially marked parts.
Note
The engine oil will leak out when disconnecting the oil hose. Prepare a suitable container
for it to drain into.

switch.
2. Check for continuity between the switch and a
body ground with each condition.
Coolant Level Sensor
1. Remove the level sensor and connect the con-
nector.
2. With the sensor not grounded to the body, start
the engine.
3. After checking that the warning light illuminates,
ground the threaded part of the sensor.
4. If the warning light remains illuminated, the sen-
sor is faulty and replace it.
