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.

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.
