BLEEDING
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL (See page SR−4 )
2. JACK UP FRONT OF VEHICLE AND SUPPORT IT WITH STANDS
3. TURN STEERING WHEEL
With the engine stopped, turn the wheel slowly from lock to lock
several times.
4. LOWER VEHICLE
5. START ENGINE
Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.
6. TURN STEERING WHEEL
(a) With the engine idling, turn the wheel to left or right full lock and keep it there for 2 −3 seconds, then turn the
wheel to the opposite full lock and keep it there for 2 −3 se-
conds.
(b) Repeat (a) several times.
7. STOP ENGINE
8. CHECK FOR FOAMING OR EMULSIFICATION
If the system has to be bled twice specifically because of foam-
ing or emulsification, check for fluid leaks in the system.

STEERING POWER STEERING VANE PUMP
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
HINT:
There are 3 vane plate lengths for the following rotor and cam
ring marks.
3. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE
(a) Coat the valve with power steering fluid and check that it
falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
(b) Check the valve for leakage. Close one of the holes and apply 392 − 490 kPa (4 − 5 kgf/cm
2, 57 − 71 psi) of com-
pressed air into the opposite side, and confirm that air
does not come out from the end holes.
Inscribed mark:
A, B, C, D, E or F
4. INSPECT SPRING
Using calipers, measure the free length of the spring. Minimum free length: 35 − 37 mm (1.38 − 1.46 in.)
If it is not within the specification, replace the spring.
