4.2.5 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
4.2.5.1 Introduction
The following diagnostic procedures are provided to assist properly qualified persons to identify and rectify the faults in the system which are most likely to be encountered. Reference is made to the Electrical Diagnostic Manual (EDM), which should be consulted for all electrical faults. When investigating faults relating to temperature, the prevailing
ambient temperature conditions should be taken into account. The climate control system is dealt with in Section 14.

10.1.3 Steering Hydraulic System Major Components
Engine driven rotary vane pump (belt driven 12 cylinder; direct drive from timing gear 6 cylinder) with falling
flow characteristic (as
pump speed increases fluid flow decreases) and integral pressure relief valve.
Remote fluid reservoir with integral 'return' side filter.
Steering rack (incorporating speed sensitive transducer).
Steering control module
(SCM).
Fluid cooler integral with engine coolant radiator and associated pipe-work.
10.1.4 Hydraulic System Features
The 'Servotronic' system reduces steering input loads during parking and low speed manoeuvres and progressively
increases input loads as vehicle speed rises. This feature enhances steering feel.
10.1.5
Rotary motion of the steering wheel is converted, via the steering gear pinion to lateral motion of the rack. Hydraulic
assistance is provided by pressurized fluid being directed against the rack bar piston in the rack cylinder. The pressure
applied to each side of the rack piston is controlled by the pinion valve which varies the restriction through which the
flow for each side of the rack piston must pass.

10.4 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
10.4.1 Introduction
The following diagnostic procedures are provided to rapidly pin-point mechanical faults which are not interrogated
by electrical means. Diagnostic procedures which require dedicated electrically operated equipment are dealt with in the 'Electrical Diagnostic Manual' (EDM) but may be mentioned here for reference.
10.4.2 Preliminary Action
Before any problem solving is undertaken it is essential that the fluid level and where applicable, belt tension, is
checked and if required corrected.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the power steering system does not become contaminated in any way. Always de cant fluid from a fresh sealed container and clean the area around the reservoir neck both before and after
topping-up. Never return drained fluid to the system.

. Drive the vehicle onto a ramp or raise the back and support
on two stands.
. Cut and remove the ratchet strap securing the speed sen- sor harness to the brake hose.
. Undo and remove the speed sensor to hub carrier secur- ing bolt (Fig. 1).
Remove the speed sensor from the hub carrier and allow
it to hang free, forward of the 'A' frame.
Open both rear doors and displace the rear seat cushion
from the seat pan brackets. Reposition the rear seat
cushion forwards.
9 Push the seat belts/ buckles through the seat cushion slots
and remove the rear seat cushion from the vehicle.
. Displace the RH side of the seat pan sound proofing (1 Fig. 2) to gain access to the speed sensor harness (2 Fig. 2).
9 Displace the speed sensor harness grommet (3 Fig. 2) from the seat pan aperture.
. Feed the speed sensor harness through the seat pan aper- ture and disconnect the multi-plug (4 Fig. 2).
9 Position the new speed sensor harness and connect the
multi-plug.
. Feed the speed sensor harness through the seat pan aper- ture to hang free below the vehicle.
. Refit and fully seat the speed sensor harness grommet to
the seat pan aperture.
Reposition theseat pan sound proofing to its original posi- tion.
Position the rear seat cushion and feed the seat belt / buckles through the slots.

. Stow the seat belts / buckles.
. Position the speed sensor harness rearwards over the 'A'
