INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVE
Coat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole by its own weight.
If it doesn’t, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the oil
pump assembly.
2. INSPECT DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS
3. INSPECT ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driv-
en rotor and body.
Standard body clearance:
0.10 − 0.16 mm (0.0039 − 0.0063 in.)
Maximum body clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
4. INSPECT ROTOR TIP CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive
and driven rotor tips.
Standard tip clearance:
0.04 − 0.16 mm (0.0016 − 0.0063 in.)
Maximum tip clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors
as a set.

(d) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Place the disc wheel on level ground.
(1) Connect the SST connector to the steering wheel
pad connector.
SST 09082−00700, 09082−00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, pro-
vide some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc
wheel.
(2) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
steering wheel pad tied down on the disc wheel.
(e) Cover the steering wheel pad with cardboard box or tires.
Covering method using cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 190 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.)
When dimension y of the cardboard box exceeds the
diameter of the disc wheel with tire to which the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied −
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y= 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is used,
the cardboard box will be broken by the shock of the airbag
deployment.
Covering method using tires:
Place at least 3 tires without disc wheel on top of the
disc wheel with tire to which the steering wheel pad
is tied.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions−
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with disc wheels.

pressed air into the opposite side, and confirm that air
does not come out from the end hole.
If necessary, replace the valve with one having the same letter
as inscribed on the front housing.
