with the hole in the adjusting rod. There are two
holes in the cable adjuster. They are positioned 90"

lf not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the
shitt cable. and adjust as required.
Tighten the locknut.
Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
adjuster. Replace the lock pin if it does not snap
over the cable adjuster securely.
Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
A/T gear position indicator follows the A"/T gear
position switch.
Start the engine, and check the shift lever in all
gears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14-'153 thru 14-156.
Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the
upper column cover, and verify that the shift lock

Troubleshooting
Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering
Humming due to pulsation of fluid is normal, particularly when the wheel isturned with the vehicle stooDed.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could be thetorque converter or pump noase.
Confirm by temporarily removingthe pump belt.
Feed hose (high-pressure) touch-ing the frame.Beposition the feed hose.
Loose steering shaft connector,tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replaceparts as necessary,
Column shaft wobbling.Roplace the column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (see page 17-15).Adjust, if necessary.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steering wheel right and left with th€engine OFF is normal.
Pump noise, though not loud, from the valve body unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel to full lock in either direction. This is normal. Do not holdthe steering wheel at full lock lor more than five seconds when inspecting.

Inspection and Adjustment
Steering Operation
Place the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
and measure the distance the steering wheel can be
turned without moving the front wheels.
ROTATIONAL PLAY: 0 - 10 mm (0 - 0.39 inl
lf the play exceeds the limit, perform rack guide adjust-
ment (see page 17-15).
lf the play is still excessive after rack guide adjustment,
inspect the steering linkage and gearbox as described
on the next page.

Power Assist Check with
Vehicle Parked
1. Check the power steering fluid level (see page 17-
15) and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-toiock several times to warm
up the fluid.
3. Aftach a spring scale to the steering wheel, With the
engine idling and the vehicle on a clean. dry floor,
pull the scale as shown and read it as soon as the
tires begin to turn.
SPRINGSCALE(Commercially
available)
The scale should read no more than 29 N (3.0 kgf,
6.6 lbfl. lf it reads more, check the gearbox and
oumo.

Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Belt
When using a new belt. first adjust the deflection or ten-
sion 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
Note these items during inspection:
a lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt,
replace it with a new one.
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions lor the tension
gauge.
'1. Remove the P/S reservoir from the bracket, and set
it aside.
2. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt with the
gauge face toward the engine, and measure the ten-
sion of the belt.
Remove the belt tension gauge carefully to avoid
hitting the gauge reset lever.
Tension:
Used Belt: 390 - 540 N {40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 121 lbf)
New Belt: 7,[0 - 840 N (75 - 90 kgf, 165 - 198 lbf)

Measurement without Belt Tension Gauge:
Apply a force ot 98 N (10 kgf,22 lbt) and measure the
deflection between the power steering pump and the
crankshaft oullevs.
Deflection:
Used Belt: 11.0 - 1i1.5 mm {0.'(l - 0.57 in)
New Belt: 7.5 - 10.0 mm {0.30 - 0.39 in)

PUMP LOCK BOLT24 N.m 12.4 kgf.m, 17 lbf.ftl
Adjust the belt tension by moving the power steer-
ing pump with a 1/2" drive breaker bar to obtain theproper belt tension, then retighten the mounting
bolt and lock bolt.
Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from
lock-to-lock several times, then stop the engine and
recheck the deflection of the belt.

Fluid Replacement
Check the reseryoir at regular intervals, and add the rec-
ommended fluid as necessary.

Fluid-V or S. Using any other type of power steering
tluid or automatic transmission fluid can cause increassd
wear and poor steering in cold w3athel.

1.Raise the reservoir. then disconnect the return hose
to drain the reservoir. Take care not to spill the fluid
on the body and parts. Wipe off any spilled fluid at
once.
2, Connect a hose of suitable diameter to the discon-
nected return hose, and put the hose end in a suit-
able container.
3. Stan the engine. let it run at idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When
fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the
engine. Discard the fluid.
4. Beinstallthe return hose on the reservoar.
5. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line,
6. Start the engine and run it at fast idle. then turn the
steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air
from the system.
7. Recheck the fluid level and add some if necessary.
Do not fill the reservoir beyond the upper level line.
