STEERING WHEEL CENTERINGNlSFIYAFCenter the steering wheel in the same way as the manual
steering. (Refer to P.19-8.1
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECKNlSFFAI
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat, paved surface, turn the
steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set it to 1,000 + 100 rpm.
Caution
After checking the engine rpm., there must be a return to
the standard idling rpm.3. Attach a spring balance to the outer circumference of the
steering wheel and measure the steering force required to
turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead position to
the left and right (within a range of 1.5 turns).
Also check to be sure that there is no significant fluctuationof the required steering force.
Standard value:
Steering effort37
N (8 lbs.) or less
Fluctuation allowance6 N (1.3 Iljs.)‘or less:...
STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER CHE$$$aETo make this test, conduct a road test and check as follows.
1.Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the steering
“feeling” to be sure that there is no difference in the steeringforce required and the wheel return between left and right
turns.2. At a speed of 35 km/h
(22 mph), turn the steering wheel
90°, and release the steering wheel after 1 or 2 seconds.
If the steering wheel then returns
70” or more, the return
can be judged to the satisfactory.
NOTE
There will be a momentary feeling of “heaviness” when thewheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (This is
because the oil pump discharge amount is especially apt to
be insufficient during idling.

OIL PUMP PRESSURE TESTNl9FlAF
CHECKING THE OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tools.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
f 100 rpm.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it is
within the standard value range.
Standard value: 7.5-8.2
MPa (1,067-1,166 psi)
Caution
Pressure gauge shut off valve must not remain closed formore than 10 seconds.
5.If it is not within the standard value, overhaul the oil pump.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.
CHECKING THE PRESSURE UNDER NO-LOAD CONDITIONS1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tool.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
-t 100 rpm.
4.
Check whether or not the hydraulic pressure is the standard
value when no-load conditions are created by fully openingthe shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
Standard value:
0.8-I .O MPa (114-142 psi)
Limit: 1.5
MPa (213 psi)
5. If it is not within the standard value, the probable cause is
a malfunction of the oil line or steering gear box, so check
these parts and repair as necessary.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.

usually indicate when a thrust washer change is required
(except when major parts are replaced). Thrust washers arelocated between reaction shaft support and rear clutch

Mount a dial indicator to converter housing with the Dial

seated against end of input shaft.
When checking end play, pull out or push in the input shaft
with pliers. Be careful not to scratch the input shaft. Record

(30) (33)(299) 2&
kPa(psi)2OPOO14(3) If the sight glass is clear and the magnetic clutch is
disengaged; the clutch is faulty or, the system is out of
refrigerant. Perform low pressure switch test to determine
condition. Check low pressure switch, and clutch coil for
electrical continuity.
(4) If the sight glass shows foam or bubbles, the system could
be low on charge. Occasional foam or bubbles are normal
when the ambient temperature is above
43°C (110°F) or
below
21°C (70°F).Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 rpm. Block the air-flow
thru the condenser to increase the compressor discharge
pressure to 1,422 to 1,520
kPa (206 to 220 psi). If sight
glass still shows bubbles or foam, system charge level is
low.The refrigerant system will not be low on charge unless
there is a leak. Find and repair the leak. If the leak can be
repaired without discharging the system an oil level check
is not necessary. Use the procedure for correcting low
refrigerant level found in the Refrigerant System Service
Procedure Section.DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH
The dual-pressure switch is a combination of the low-pressureswitch (for checking the quantity of refrigerant) and the,
high-pressure switch (for prevention of overheating); it is
installed on the tube, and, when the pressure becomes
approximately 210 kPa (30 psi) or lower, the compressor stops,thus preventing the compressor from being damaged by heat.
When the pressure reaches 2,700
kPa (384 psi) or higher, the
compressor stops, thus preventing overheating. There is
generally no necessity for inspection; if, however, an unusual
condition, such as non-operation of the compressor is encoun-tered, check by following the procedures below.
(1) Check for continuity of the dual-pressure switch.
NOTEIf the air temperature drops to
0°C (32°F) or lower during
cold weather, the air conditioner will not operate (no
continuity).(2) If there is an insufficient amount of refrigerant, check the
refrigerant amount by looking through the sight glass of thereceiver; supply refrigerant if necessary.
