1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL (See page SR-6)
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 position and keep it there for 2-3 seconds, then turn
the wheel to the opposite full lock position and keep it
there for 2-3 seconds.
(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.
9. CHECK FLUID LEVEL (See page SR-6)

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir cap dipstick. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within
the COLD LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem. (See page SR-5)
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system.
(See page SR-5)
(i) Check the fluid level.

2. CHECK STEERING FLUID PRESSURE
(a) Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the PS vane
pump. (See page SR-24)
(b) Connect SST, as shown in the illustration below.
SST 09640-10010 (09641-01010, 09641-01030,
09641-01060)
NOTICE:
Check that the valve of the SST is in the open position.
(c) Bleed the power steering system.
(d) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(e) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80 °C (176 °F)
(f) With the engine idling, close the valve of the SST and ob-
serve the reading on the SST.
Minimum fluid pressure:
6,374 kPa (65 kgf/cm
2, 925 psi)
NOTICE:
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 se-
conds.
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.

2. CHECK IDLE-UP
(a) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(b) Fully turn the steering wheel.
(c) Check that the engine rpm decreases when the vacuum
hose is pinched.
(d) Check that the engine rpm increases when the hose is re-
leased.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
With the vehicle stopped and tires pointed straight ahead, rock
the steering wheel gently back and forth with light finger pres-
sure.
Freeplay should not exceed the maximum.
Maximum freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR-13).
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
Reference: 7.8 N´m (80 kgf´cm, 69 in.´lbf)
HINT:
Be sure to consider the tire type, pressure and contact surface
before making your diagnosis.
(e) Torque the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 34 N´m (350 kgf´cm, 25 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the steering wheel pad (See page SR-20).

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER ON-VEHICLE
Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allowable indication error and check the operation
of the odometer.
HINT:
Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indication error.
If error is excessive, replace the speedometer.

2. INSPECT TACHOMETER
(a) Connect a tune-up test tachometer, and start the engine.
NOTICE:
Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and diodes inside. When re-
moving or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.
(b) Compare the tester and tachometer indications.
