WARNING
In order to prevent any risk of damage to the ro-
tary switch beneath the steering wheel, the follo-
wing instructions should be observed:
• Before disconnecting the steering column and
the rack, the steering wheel MUST be immobi-
lised with the wheels straight, using a "stee-
ring wheel lock", throughout the operation.
• If there is any doubt that the rotary switch is
properly centred, the steering wheel must be
removed in order to apply the centring method
described in section 88 "Air bag".
REMINDER: this kind of work must only be carried
out by properly trained and qualified staff.

SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
2 000 ml measuring cylinder
It is advised to check the pump supply flow
through the fuel return pipe connected to the
pump-fuel sender unit assembly.
IMPORTANT
During this operation, it is essential :
• to refrain from smoking and handling incan-
descent objects close to the working area,
• to take precautions against possible fuel
projections which may occur due to the resi-
dual pressure in the supply pipes when they
are removed.
CHECKING THE PUMP FLOW
Disconnect the fuel return pipe (1) (Mot. 1265).
Connect a piece of pipe to the hose and place this
into a 0-2 000 ml graduated measuring cylinder.
Shunt terminals (3) and (5) of relay (K) on the DF7
engine, or for the
E7J engine shunt at (L) on the
fuel pump relay (which is located in the engine
fuse box ). In one minute, the pump flow must be
a minimum of 1.3 litres with a voltage of 12
volts.
If the fuel flow is low, check the pump feed vol-
tage (approximately 10 % reduction in flow for a
voltage drop of 1 Volt)
