FAULT DIAGNOSIS INSUFFICIENT POWER ASSISTANCE
1.Is fluid level correct?
YES - go to 3.
NO - Fill/bleed sytem
2.Is problem a leak?
YES - Diagnose
See Power Steering Fluid
Leaks
.
NO - continue
3.Is drive belt tension correct?
YES - go to 5.
NO - Is drive belt worn or contaminated with oil?
See ELECTRICAL, Repair, Auxiliary drive
belt
.
4.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - continue
5.Carry out pressure test at idle and 1000 rev/min.
See Power Steering System - Test.
6.Is correct pressure achieved?
YES - steering box defective
Not at any speed go to 9.
Not at idle go to 7.
7.Is idle speed correct?
YES-Goto8.
NO - Correct idle speed -
See ENGINE TUNING
DATA, Information, 300 Tdi Engine
.
8.Is problem resolved?
YES - end
NO - go to 9.
9.Bypass steering box using adaptor tap
LRT-57-001
10.Is correct pressure obtained?
YES - defective steering box
NO - defective steering pump
CAUTION: Do not hold steering wheel on
full lock for more than 30 seconds in any
one minute to avoid overheating fluid and
possibly damaging seals.
NOTE: 1. Excessive pressure in the
system is almost always caused by a
faulty relief valve in the PAS pump.
NOTE: 2. Insufficient pressure in the
system is usually caused by low fluid level
or PAS pump drive belt slip, or one of the
following: PAS system leaks, faulty PAS pump
relief valve, fault in steering box valve and worm
assembly, leak at piston in steering box, worn
components in PAS pump or box.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS POWER STEERING SYSTEM - TEST
NOTE: If steering lacks power assistance.
Check pressure of hydraulic pump before
fitting new components. Use fault
diagnosis chart to assist in tracing faults.
A. Steering box.
B. Steering pump.
C. Existing hose, steering box to pump.
D. HoseLRT-57-030.
E. Test adaptorLRT-57-001.
F. Pressure gaugeLRT-57-005.
G. Thread adaptorLRT-57-004.
H. Thread adaptorLRT-57-022.Procedure
1.A hydraulic pressure gauge and test adaptor is
used to test power steering system. This gauge
is able to measure 140 kgf/cm
2. The maximum
power steering system pressure is 77 kgf/cm2.
2.Under certain fault conditions of the hydraulic
pump it is possible to obtain pressures up to 105
kgf/cm
2. It is important to realise that pressure on
gauge is same pressure being exerted upon
steering wheel. When testing, turn steering
wheel gradually while reading pressure gauge.
3.Check and maintain maximum fluid level of
reservoir.
4.Examine power steering units and connections
for leaks. All leaks must be rectified before
attempting to test the system.
5.Check steering pump drive belt tension and
renew belt if necessary,
See ELECTRICAL,
Repair, Auxiliary drive Belt
.
6.Assemble test equipment and fit to vehicle, as
shown in RR3959M.
7.Open tap of adaptor.
8.Bleed system, take care not to overload
pressure gauge.
9.With system in good condition, pressures should
be:
(A) Steering wheel held on full lock and engine
running at 1,000 rev/min, 70 to 77 kgf/cm
2.
(B) Steering wheel held on full lock and engine
idling, 28 kgf/cm
2.
Checks should be carried out on both full lock
positions.
CAUTION: Do not maintain this pressure
for more than 30 seconds in any one
minute to avoid overheating fluid and
possibly damaging seals.
10.Release steering wheel and with engine idling.
Pressure should read below 7 kgf/cm
2.
11.If pressures differ to those given a fault exists.
12.To determine if fault is steering box or pump.
Close adaptor tap for a maximum five seconds.
13.If gauge does not register specified pressure,
pump is faulty.
14.Fit a new pump, bleed system and repeat test. If
low pressure or a substantial imbalance exists,
fault is in steering box valve and worm
assembly.

NO - end.
12.Does moan remain?
YES - continue
NO - end.13.Is noise an intermittent "grunt"?
YES -

NO - continue.
14.Is it a clunking noise?
YES - check drive belt tension and renew belt if
necessary
See ELECTRICAL, Repair,
Auxiliary drive Belt
.
NO - contact local technical office.
15.Does noise remain?
YES - Suspect suspension or drive train.
NO - end.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM - GRUNT

FAULT DIAGNOSISREV: 05/99 VISUAL CHECK AND BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: It is important that the following
instructions are carried out in the
sequence shown and the results recorded.
1.Road springs - check that road springs are
correctly seated and are to correct specification
for vehicle. For spring specification
See
GENERAL SPECIFICATION DATA,
Information, Road Spring Data
.
2.Ride height - measure trim height from wheel
centre to wheelarch eyebrow. Record results on
data sheet.
3.Check/top up power steering fluid
See Repair,
Power Steering Fluid Reservoir
.
4.Check tension and condition of drive belt
See
ELECTRICAL, Repair, Auxiliary drive belt
.
5.Track rod/drag link - check condition of track rod,
drag link and ball joints
See Repair, Drag Link
and Drag Link Ends
.
If either component is damaged, check operation
of steering damper and steering box for
smoothness. Replace all damaged or worn
components that impair the operation of the
steering system.
6.Suspension bushes - examine all steering and
suspension bushes for signs of wear and
deterioration. Also check all fixings for torque
relaxation. Tighten to correct torque value
See
FRONT SUSPENSION, Specifications, torque,
Torque Values
.
7.Oil leaks - check front and rear axle hubs for
leak and repair as necessary.
8.Brake system - check brake system for leaks,
pipe condition, pad wear/contamination, disc
wear/condition.
9.Hub end float - check movement in the hubs by
rocking the wheels.
10.Check front wheel alignment. Vehicles displaying
a tendency to veer more than considered
allowable, it is permissible to set the front track
to parallel.11.Having completed all the above checks and
adjustments, road test vehicle
See Road Test
Procedure
.
Attempt to reproduce the symptoms established
earlier. If symptoms still exist refer to relevant
Diagnostic Chart.
STEERING LINKAGE INSPECT
NOTE: When inspecting steering linkages
and ball joints for wear the following items
must be checked.
Steering ball joints
1.Check ball joint rubber boots for security, signs
of cracking or deterioration.
2.Check ball joint assemblies for seizure i.e. no
movement on ball joint and associated
assemblies.
3.Check for excessive wear. This will be evident
as extreme movement on track rod and steering
linkages. Renew parts as necessary
