10) After completion of fitting, make sure that the selector
lever operates smoothly all across the operating range.
11) Connect the harnesses and check the following items.
(1) The engine starts operating when selector lever is
in position“P”, but not in other positions.
(2) The back-up light is lit when the selector lever is in
position“R”, but not in other positions.
B3M0348A
12) Check selector lever operation.
WARNING:
Stop the engine while checking operation of selector
lever.
(1) Check that selector lever does not move from“N”
to“R”without pushing the button.
(2) Check that selector lever does not move from“R”
to“P”without pushing the button.
(3) Check that selector lever does not move from“P”
to“R”without pushing the button and the brake pedal
depressed. [With ignition key set at“ON”.]
(4) Check that selector lever does not move from“3”to
“2”without pushing the button.
13) Check shift-lock system.
(1) Ensure ignition switch rotates from“ACC”to
“LOCK”when the selector lever is set at“P”. Also check
that ignition key can be removed from the“LOCK”posi-
tion only.
(2) Ensure selector lever moves from“P”to any other
position when the brake pedal is depressed with igni-
tion key set at“ON”or“START”.

Whine or growl (continuous or
intermittent)
While engine is running with/
without steering turned.Loosened installation of oil pump,
oil pump bracketRetighten.

Abnormal inside of oil pump, hoseReplace oil pump, hose, if the
noise can be heard when running
as well as stand still.
Torque converter growl
air conditioner compression growlRemove power steering pulley
belt and confirm.
Creaking noise (intermittent)
While engine is running with
steering turned.Abnormal inside of gearboxReplace bad parts of gearbox.
Abnormal bearing for steering
shaftApply grease or replace.
*9
Generates when turning steering
wheel with brake (service or park-
ing) applied.If the noise goes off when brake
is released, it is normal.
*10
Vibration
While engine is running with/
without steering turned.
Too low engine speed at startAdjust and instruct customers.
Vane pump aerationFix wrong part.
Vent air.
Damaged valve in oil pump, gear-
boxReplace oil pump, bad parts of
gearbox.
Looseness of play of steering,
suspension partsRetighten.
*8 Oil pump makes whine or growl noise slightly due to its mechanism. Even if the noise can be heard when steering wheel
is turned at stand still there is no abnormal function in the system provided that the noise eliminates when the vehicle is
running.
*9 When stopping with service brake and/or parking brake applied, power steering can be operated easily due to its light
steering effort. If doing so, the disk rotates slightly and makes creaking noise. The noise is generated by creaking between
the disk and pads. If the noise goes off when the brake is released, there is no abnormal function in the system.
*10 There may be a little vibration around the steering devices when turning steering wheel at standstill, even though the com-
ponent parts are properly adjusted and have no defects.
Hydraulic systems are likely to generate this kind of vibration as well as working noise and fluid noise because of com-
bined conditions, i.e., road surface and tire surface, engine speed and turning speed of steering wheel, fluid temperature
and braking condition.
This phenomena does not indicate there is some abnormal function in the system.
The vibration can be known when steering wheel is turned repeatedly at various speeds from slow to rapid step by step
with parking brake applied on concrete road and in“D”range for automatic transmission vehicle.
