1994 HONDA INTEGRA Workshop Manual

Place the front wheels in the straight ahesd position and
measure the distSnce the steering wheel can be turned
without moving the front wheels.
ROTATIONAL PLAY: 0 - 10 mm l0 - o.:Xl inl
lf the plsy excseds the service limit, psrform rack guide
adjustment (see page 17-211.
lf the play is still excessive after rack guide adjustment,
inspect the stsering linksgo and gearbox as described

1. Check the power steering fluid level (see page 17-
21) and pump belt tension lsee page l7-20).
2.Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock sev€ral times to warm
uo the fluid.
Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the
engine idling and the car on a clean, dry floor, pull
the scale as shown and read it as soon 8s the tires
begin to turn,
il. The scal6 should read no more than 33 N (3.4 kgf,
7.5 lbf). lf it reads more or less, ch€ck the gearbox
and pump.

NOTE: Perform rack guide adjustment with the wheels
in the straight ahead position.
Loosen the rack guide screw locknut with the spe-

Tighten the rack guide screw until it compresses the
spring and seats against the .ack guide, then loosen
it.
Retighten the rack guide screw to 3.9 N.m {0.4

engine. Discard the fluid,
Refit the return hose on the reservor.
Fill the reservoir to the uDoer level line.
Start the engine and run it at fast idle, then turn the
steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air

Pump Pressure Check
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine
whether the trouble is in the pump or gearbox.
NOTE: First check the power steering fluid level and
pump belt tension,

1. Disconnect the outlet hose from the oumo outlet fit-
ting, 8nd install the pump joint adapter on the
pump outlet.
2, Connect the hose joint sdapter to the power steer-
ing pressure gauge, then connect the outlet hose to
the adaotor.
3. Instsll the power steering pressure gauge to the

1.
Start the engine and let it idle.
Turn the stee.ing wheel from lock-to-lock several
times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
Measure steady-state fluid pressure while idling
with the shut-off valve fully open. lf the pump is in
good condition, the gauge should read less than
1500 kpa (15 kgf/cm,,213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the feed line or valve body
unit (see General Troubleshooting l7-10).
Close the shut-off valve. then close the pressure
control valve gradually until the pressure gauge
needle is stabl6, Read the pressure.
lmmediately open the shut-off valve fully.
CAUTION: Do not keep the shut-ott valvs closod
moro thgn 5 soconds or th9 pump could b6 dam"
agod by over-h6ating,
lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge should
read at least 6.400 - 7,400 kpa (65 - 75 kgIlcm,,924- 1,067 psi). A low reading means pump output is
too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.
