Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Belt
NOTE: When using a new belt, first adjust the deflection
or tension to the values for the new belt, then readjust
the deflection or tension to the values for the used belt
after running engine for five minutes,
Inspection
Attach the soecial tool to the belt and measure the ten-
sion of the belt.
Tension:
Usad Belt: 390 - 54O N {/10 - 55 kgf. 88 - 120 lbf}
Nsw Belt: 740 - 880 N {75 - 90 kgf. 170-2(X)lbf)
NOTE:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt,
replace it with a new one.
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the tension
gauge.

Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Pressure Check
Check the fluid Dressure as follows to determine
whether the trouble is in the pump or gearbox.
NOTE; First check the power steering fluid level and
pump belt tension.
CAUTION: Disconnect the pump outlet hose (high-pres-
sure line) with care so as not to spill the power steering
fluid on the frame and other parts,
1. Disconnect the pump outlet hose (high-pressure)
from the pump outlet fitting, then install the P/S
joint adapter (pump) on the pump outlet.

Install the power steering pressure gauge to the P/S
joint adapter (pump).
Open the shut-off valve fully.
Open the pressure control valve fulli.
1.
Start the engine and let it idle.
Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several
times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
Measure steady-state fluid pressure while idling. lf
the pump is in good condition, the gauge should
read less than 1500 kPa (15 kgflcm' ,213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve body
unit (see General Troubleshooting 17-101.
Close the pressure control valve, then close the
shut-off valve gradually until the pressure gauge
needle is stable, Read the pressure.
lmmediately open the pressure control valve fully.
CAUTION: Do not keep the pressure control valve
closed more then 5 seconds or the pump could be
damaged by over-heating.
lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge should
read at least 6,400 - 7,400 kPa (65 - 75 kgflcm',924- 1,067 psi). A low.eading means pump output is
too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.
