System Description
Fluid Flow Diagram
The system is a compact rotary-valvs-type power stssring, connocted to the st€oring gearbox. Th6 fluid pressure is pro-vided by a vane-type pump which is driven by the engine crank pulley. The amount of fluid and pressurs is regulsted bythe flow control valve built into ths pump, The fluid prssaurs from th6 pump is dolivsred to tho valve unit sround the pin-ion of the steering g€arbox. The vslv€ inside the valvs unit controls the hydraulic prossur€ End changos the direction otthe flow. The fluid then flows to the power cylinder, where rack thrust is gen6rat6d. Fluid returning from th6 powsr cylin-der flows back to the .eservoir, where the fluid is 'filtered" and supplied to the pump Egain.

System Description
Steering Gearbox
The rack-and-pinion type steering gearbox has a valve unit incorporated with the pinion to control the steering fluid pres-
sure. Steering fluid from the pump is regulated by a rotary valve in the valve unit and is sent through the cylinder pipe to
the power cylinder, where hydraulic pressure is applied. The steering fluid in the other side of the power cylinder returns
through the cylinder pipe and valve unit to the reservoir.

CYLINDER PIPE
POWEB CYLINDER
Valve Unit
Inside the valve unit is the valve, which is coaxial with the pinion shaft, and controls the steering fluid pressure. The valve
housing is connected with the fluid pipe from the pump, return pipe to the pump, and the two cylinder pipes from the
respective power cylinder.
The pinion shaft is double - structured with the input shaft connected to the pinion gear, both of which are interconnected
with the torsion bar.
The pin insened in the valve and the pinion shaft groove engage; this allows the pinion shaft to rotate together with the
Because of this construction, the difference in angle in the circumferential direction between the input shaft and the valve
becomes larger according to the torsional strength of the pinion or steering resistance. However, maximum torsion
between the shafts is regulated by the engaged splines of the shafts at the pin engagement section to hold the torsion bar
within the set value.
This allows the steering system to lunction as an ordinary rack-and-pinion type steering if the steering fluid is not pressur-
ized because of a faulty pump.

INPUT SHAFT

Pressure Control
Low assist at higher speeds:
When steering resistance is low. such as when driving at high speeds. or when driving straight ahead, the input shaft is
near or in the neutral position, so there is little or no flow to any of the power cylinder orifices, Most of the feed pressure
trom the pump is bypassed to the reservoir. Because of this, the pressure stays the same in both sides of the power cylin-
der, resulting in low or no assist.

VALVE UNITINPUT SHAFT
High assist at lower speeds:
When steering resistance is high, such as when driving at low speed, or when turning the wheel with the car stopped, the
difference in angle created between the input shaft and the valve opens the fluid passage on one side, and closes the fluid
passage on the other side, at each pair of orifices. The fluid pressure increases in the side of the power cylinder fed by the
larger fluid passage. This increased pressure pushes on the rack piston, allowing the steering wheel to be turned with light
effon. On the other side of the power cylinder, the return passage opens allowing the steering fluid to return through the
input shaft to the reservoir. The fluid passages to the power cylinder automatically change in size, increasing as the steer-
ing resistance increases. In other words, the passages become larger and power assist increases when the steering effort
would normally be high, (for example. when parking or making low speed turns). and the passages become smaller and
power assist decreases when the steering effort would normally be low, (for example, when driving at high speeds or
straight ah€ad).

Troubleshooting
General Troubleshooting {cont'd}
Assist (excessively light steering) athigh speed.
Shock or vibration when wheel isturned to tull lock.
Wheelwill not return smoolhly.
ll the problem is not corrected byadjusting th6 rack g!ide. adjustthe front wheel alignment (see
section 18).
Check the rack guido proper ad'justment (see pago 17-21).
Check the rack guide tor properadjustment (ses psge 17-21).
Rack guide is adjusted prop€rly.
lf th€ problem is not correct€d byadiusting the rack guide, roplacethe gesrbox.Ch6ck the belt tor slip and adjustas nocessary (see page 17-20).
lf oither one or both of the cylin-der pip€ A and B is/are deformed,rsplace,
lf the cylinder pip6 A and B arenormal, remove the gearboxfrom th€ f.ame and mossure thepinion torqug on the gearbox.
It should be 0.7 - 1.2 N.m {7 - 12kgf.cm, 6 - 10 lbf.in) or belowwith the sleering rack in thestraight ahead driving position.
lf lhe measurem€nts are out ofspecilications. adjust the rackguid6.
ll ihe problem is not corrected byadjusting the rack guide, replaceihe gearbox.

Troubleshooting
Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather (-20.C, -4"F or colder) is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering
Right cylinder end soal squeak
Pump noise. though not loud,lrom the vslvo bodv unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel right or left. This is normsl.
Humming due to pulsation ol fluid is no.mal, paniculady when wheel is turnedwith ca. stopped.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could b€ tor-que convener or pump notse.
Confirm by temporarily removingpump b€lt.
High pressure line touching theframe,Reposhion tho line.
Loose steering shaft connector.tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replacepa s as necessary.
Column shaft wobbling.Replace column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (16o page 17-21).Adjust, if n€ca€ssry.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steoring wheel right and lett with thoengine OFF is a sound when th6 valve unit contacts tho stopper. This is normal.
Striking sound wh6n turning the ste€ring whoglfully right o. left is a sound whenthe r6ck end contacts th6 stopper. This is normal.

Troubleshooting
Fluid Leaks
Check the gearbox assembly for oil leaks carefully. Oil can leak out of various points. depending on location of thefaulty oil seals/seal rings. Check the following before removing the gearbox from the frame.
Steering GearboxLeaking from the oil seal on thetop of the valve housing.Roplace the valve oil seal fromthe valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder end intoleft tie'rod boot.Replace the valve oil seal lromthe pinion shaft.
Reolace the cvlinder end seal.
