STEP 2 (STALL TEST)
This step is performed to determine if there is slippage of the friction elements or malfunction of the
hydraulic components.
Preparation
Check the following items prior to testing:
1. Engine coolant, engine oil and ATF levels.
2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
3. Set the parking brake and block the front and rear of the wheels.

Inspection of Level
1. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Note
Place the car on a flat, level surface.
2. Run the engine so that the automatic transaxle fluid
reaches operating temperature.
3. While the engine is idling, shift the select lever from
P to 1 and back again.
4. Let the engine idle.
5.Shift the select lever to P.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the high-pressure hose of the gear
housing side, and attach the SST.
Tightening torque:
39—49 N-m (4.0—5.0 m-kg, 29—36 ft-lb)
2. Bleed air from the system.
3. Open the gauge valve fully, then start the engine
and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to
raise the fluid temperature to 50—60°C
(122—140°F)
4. To measure the fluid pressure generated by the
oil pump, close the gauge valve completely and
increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500 rpm.
If the fluid pressure is low, replace the oil pump
assembly.
Warning
If the valve is left closed for more than 15 sec-
onds, the fluid temperature will increase ex-
cessively and adversely affect the oil pump.
Oil pump fluid pressure
2WS
7,355—7,846 kPa

Rear 7,112—7,848 kPa
(72.5—80.0 kg/cm2, 1,031—1,138 psi)
To measure the fluid pressure generated at the
gear housing, first open the gauge valve complete-
ly, increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500
rpm, and then turn the steering wheel fully to the
left and right.
Warning
If the steering wheel is kept in the fully turned
position for more than 15 seconds, the fluid
temperature will rise excessively.

RECEIVER-DRIER 16
RECEIVER-DRIER
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. Use a leak detector to check the sight glass, the
fusible plug, and the fittings for leakage.
Repair or replace, if necessary.
2. Check the receiver-drier for clogging.
a) Run the engine at fast idle with the air conditioner
on.
b) Check both inlet and outlet temperatures.
If there is a great difference between the two tem-
peratures, replace the receiver-drier.

REMOVAL OF RECEIVER-DRIER
1. Discharge the air conditioning system.
(Refer to page 16—9)
2. Disconnect the two liquid line pipes from the
receiver-drier.
Note:
Plug the open fittings immediately to keep
moisture out of the system.
3. Remove the receiver-drier from the bracket.
INSTALLATION OF RECEIVER-DRIER
1. Install the receiver-drier onto the bracket.
Note:
Do not remove the blind plugs until ready for
connection.
2. Connect the two liquid line pipes to the
receiver-drier.
Tightening torque:
15—25 N m (1.5—2.5 m-kg, 11—18 ft-lb)
3.
If
the receiver-drier is replaced with a new one, add
compressor oil to the compressor.
Compressor oil: 10 cc (0.61 cu in)
