INSPECTION
Visual check
Check the following parts:
• Oil leakage.
• Steering system for looseness or damage.
• Steering function
• Joint ball for oil leakage or damage.
• Joint ball rubber boot for damage.
MAINTENANCE
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and fluid level
in the reservoir should be checked at regular intervals and
fluid added when required. Refer to "MAINTENANCE AND
LUBRICATION" in section 0B of the manual for type of
fluid to be used and intervals for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as detailed later
in this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the pump
and the gear must be completely disassembled before
further usage.
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make
sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses are
in place and properly secured.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. Air in the system will cause spongy
action and noisy operation. When a hose is disconnected
or when fluid is lost, for any reason, the system must be
bled after refilling. Refer to "Bleeding the Power Steering
System" in this section.
FLUID LEVEL
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid reaches
normal operating temperature, about 55°C (130°F),
then shut the engine off.
2. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid as
specified in "MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION" in
section 0B to the proper level and install the receiver
cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced, air must be bled from the
system. Refer to "Bleeding the Power Steering
System" in this section.

POWER STEERING 2A – 9
The hydraulic power steering system consists of a
pump, an oil reservoir, a steering gear, a pressure
hose and a return hose.
POWER STEERING GEAR
The power steering gear has a recirculating ball
system which acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and the rack piston. When the worm
shaft is turned right, the rack piston moves up in
gear. Turning the worm shaft left moves the rack
piston down in gear. The rack piston teeth mesh
with the sector, which is part of the sector shaft.
Turning the worm shaft turns the sector shaft,
which turns the wheels through the steering
linkage.
The control valve in the steering gear directs the
power steering fluid to either side of the rack
piston. The rack piston converts the hydraulic
pressure into a mechanical force. If the steering
system becomes damaged and loses hydraulic
pressure, the vehicle can be controlled manually.
HYDRAULIC PUMP
The hydraulic pump is vane-type design.
There are two bore openings at the rear of the
pump housing. The smaller opening contains the
pressure line union and flow control valve.
PRESSURE SWITCH (6VD1,
6VE1 Engine)
When hydraulic pressure reaches 3650 ± 350 kPa
(530 ± 50 PSI), the pressure switch closes causing
ECM to actuate the idle air control valve to prevent
the overload-induced engine speed down. The
switch opens when hydraulic pressure drops to
3150 ± 350 kPa (460 ± 50PSI).
