2A – 10 POWER STEERING
POWER STEERING SYSTEM TEST
TEST PROCEDURE
Test of fluid pressure in the power steering system
is performed to determine whether or not the oil
pump and power steering unit are functioning
normally.
The power steering system test is method used to
identify and isolate hydraulic circuit difficulties.
Prior to performing this test, the following
inspections and corrections, if necessary, must be
made.
INSPECT
•Pump reservoir for proper fluid level.
•Pump belt for proper tension.
•Pump driver pulley condition.
1. Place a container under the pump to catch the
fluid when disconnecting or connecting the
hoses.
2. With the engine NOT running , disconnect the
pressure hose at the power steering pump and
install Power Steering tester.
The gage must be between the shutoff valve
and pump. Open the shutoff valve.
Tester: 5-8840-0135-0 (J-29877-A)
Adapter: 5-8840-2297-0 (For 6VD1, 6VE1, 4JX1)
5-8840-0136-0 (For 4JG2)3. Check the fluid level. Fill the reservoir with
power steering fluid, to the “Full” mark. Start
the engine then turn the steering wheel and
momentarily hold it against a stop. Turn off
and check the connections at tester for leakage.
4. Bleed the system. Refer to “Bleeding the
Power Steering System” in this section.
5. Start the engine and check the pump fluid
level. Add power steering fluid if required.
When the engine is at normal operating
temperature, increase engine speed to 1500
rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not leave shutoff valve fully closed for more
than 5 seconds, as the pump could become
damaged internally.
6. Fully close the shutoff valve. Record the
highest pressures.
•If the pressure recorded is within 9300-9800
kPa (1350-1420 psi) For 6VD1, 6VE1, and
9800-10300 kPa (100-105 kg/cm
2/ 1420-1490
psi) For 4JG2, 4JX1, the pump is functioning
within its specifications.
•If the pressure recorded is higher than 9800
kPa (1420 psi) For 6VD1, 6VE1, and 10300
kPa (105 kg/cm
2/ 1490 psi) For 4JG2, 4JX1,
the valve in the pump is defective.

BLEEDING THE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
When a power steering pump or gear has been
installed, or an oil line has been disconnected, the
air that has entered the system must be bled out
before the vehicle is operated. If air is allowed to
remain in the power steering fluid system, noisy
and unsatisfactory operation of the system may
result.
BLEEDING PROCEDURE
When bleeding the system, and any time fluid is
added to the power steering system, be sure to use
only power steering fluid as specified in
“MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION” in section
0B.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper
level and let the fluid settle for at least two
minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few
seconds.
Do not turn the steering wheel. Then turn the
engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid
level remains constant after running the
engine.
5. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that the
wheels are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering
wheel right and left, lightly contacting the
wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Bring down the vehicle, set the steering wheel
at the straight forward position after turning it
to its full steer positions 2 or 3 times, and stop
the engine.
9. Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and
refill as required.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the
vehicle to stand a few minutes and repeat the
above procedure.
INSPECT
•Belt for tightness.
•Pulley for looseness or damage. The pulley
should not wobble with the engine running.
•Make sure that hose and pipes are properly
fitted.
•Fluid level and fill to the proper level.
FLUSHING THE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
1. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the
ground until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the reservoir
inlet connector and plug the connector.
Position the line toward a large container to
catch the draining fluid.
3. While running the engine at idle, fill the
reservoir with new power steering fluid. Turn
the steering wheel in both directions. Do not
contact wheel stops or hold the wheel in a
corner, or fluid will stop and the pump will be
in pressure relief mode. A sudden overflow
from the reservoir may develop if the wheel is
held at a stop.
4. While refilling the reservoir, check the
draining fluid for contamination. If foreign
material is still evident, replace all lines,
disassemble and clean or replace the power
steering system components. Do not re-use
any drained power steering fluid.
5. Install all the lines and hoses. Fill the system
with new power steering fluid and bleed the
system as described in “Bleeding The Power
Steering System”. Operate the engine for
about 15 minutes. 2A – 12 POWER STEERING
