iagnosis and Testing
Principles of Operations
The brake system operates by transferring effort applied to th e brake pedal, by the driver to the brakes at each wheel.
The braking effort is distributed to each wheel, using a hydraulic system. The system is assisted using a vacuum brake
booster that reduces pedal effort for a given hydraulic pressure. The parking brake operates on the rear wheels and is
applied using a hand operated control.
I
nspection and Verification
•
NOTE: Prior to carrying out any diagno
sis, make sure that the brake system warning indicator is functional.
Visually examine the front and rear tire and wheel assemblies for damage such as un even wear patterns, tread worn out or
sidewall damage. Verify the tires are th e same size, type and, where possible, same manufacture. Replace the damaged
wheel or excessively worn tire. For a dditional information, refer toSection 204

W
heels and tires must be cleared of an
y foreign matter and tire pressures ad justed to the correct specification.
If the tires exhibit uneven wear or feathering, the cause must be corrected. Check the steering and suspension components
for damage or wear and, if ne cessary, check and adjust front wheel alignment. For additional information, refer toSection

Road Test


V
isual Inspection Chart
Carr

y out a road test to compare actual vehicle braking performance with the
performance standards expected by the
driver. The ability of the test driver to make valid compar isons and detect performance deficiencies will depend on
experience.
The driver should have a thorough knowledge of brake system operation and accepted general performance guidelines to
make good comparisons and de tect performance concerns.
An experienced brake technician will always establish a route that will be used for all br ake diagnosis road tests. The roads
selected will be reasonably smooth and level. Gravel or bump y roads are not suitable because the surface does not allow the
tires to grip the road equally. Crowned roads should be avoide d because of the large amount of weight shifted to the low set
of wheels on this type of road. Once th e route is established and consistently used, the road surface variable can be
eliminated from the test results.
Before a road test, obtain a complete description of the customer concerns or suspec ted condition. From the description, the
technician's experience will allow the te chnician to match possible causes with symptoms. Certain components will be
tagged as possible suspects while others wi ll be eliminated by the evidence. More importantly, the customer description can
reveal unsafe conditions which should be ch ecked or corrected before the road test. The description will also help form the
basic approach to the road test by narrowing the concern to specific components, vehicle speed or conditions.
Begin the road test with a general brake performance check. Keeping the description of the concern in mind, test the brakes
at different vehicle speeds using both ligh t and heavy pedal pressure. To determine if the concern is in the front or rear
braking system, use the brake pe dal and then use the parking brake control. If the condition (pull, vibration, pulsation)

NOTE: The following steps must be carried out with assistance.
1. 1. With the wheels in the straight ahead po sition, gently turn the steering wheel to the left and the right to check for
free play.
2. 2. Free play should be between 0 and 6 mm (0 and 0.24 in) at the steering wheel rim. If the free play exceeds this
limit, either the ball joints are worn, the lower steering column joints are worn or the backlash of the steering gear
is excessive.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to adjust the stee ring gear yoke. Failure to follow this instruction will result in the steering
gear warranty to become invalid.
3. 3. The backlash of the steering gear cannot be adjusted, in stall a new steering gear. For additional information,

Pressure Hose Adaptor

The
measurement of the maximum system pressure, (which is
governed by the pressure relief valve) is achieved by
inserting the Service Tool (pressure gauge and adaptors) into th e fluid circuit of the power steering system. Run the engine
at idle speed, turn the st eering from lock to lock and read the ma ximum pressure recorded on the gauge.
Installin
g Test Equipment
To
in
stall the pressure test equipment:
Pla
c
e a suitable drain tray be
low the power steering pump.
Install a hose clamp on
the re
servoir to pump hose prior to disconnecting any hoses, to avoid unnecessary loss of
fluid.
Disc
onnect the hose from the power st
eering pump high pressure outlet.
Install the pu
mp outlet to hose adaptor (5
). Do not omit the 'O' ring seal (9).
Connect the power steering
pump
adaptor to control valve hose (6) of the test equipment.
Install th e adaptor (4) in th
e high
pressure hose previously removed from the power steering pump outlet.
Conn
ect the connector (3) of the test equipment hose (2) to the adaptor (4).
R
e
move the hose clamp fro
m the reservoir hose.
Start th
e engine.
With the control valve (7) OPEN and the engine idli ng, the following system pressures may be checked:
Du
ring turning.
W
h
en the steering is
held on full lock.
With
the steeri
ng at rest.
• CAUTIONS:
To avoid excessive heating of the po wer steering pump, do not close the valve for longer than 5 seconds maximum.
Do not drive the vehicle with the test equipment installed.
With the control valve (7) CLOSED the power steering pump maximum ou tput pressure can be checked.
Removing Test Equipment
To
remove the test equipment:
Install a hose clamp
on
the reservoir to power steering pump hose.
Re
movi
ng the test equipmen
t is a reversal of the in stallation instructions.
Install a new '
O
' ring seal (9) to the power steering pump high pressu
re outlet to hose connection.
Instal
l the original hose to
the power steering pump.
Re
move the clamp from the reservoir to
the power steering pump hose.
