(1) Remove the actuator.
(2) Apply negative pressure to the actuator with
the! &c&mpump and check that the holder moves more than 35
,mm(1.38 in.). In addition, check that there is no change
iii the
position of the holder when negative pressure is main-
tained in that condition.
(3) First install the actuator and then inspect and adjust the

STEERING - Service Adjustment Procedures < Power Steering >194113AO29313AO290
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.
