2000 HONDA CR-V Air Control

17. Install the right and left driveshafts (see section 18).
While installing the right driveshaft in the differen-
tial, be sure not to allow dust or other foreign parti-
cles to enter the transmission.
NOTE:
. Clean the areas where the right driveshaft con-
tacts the transmission (differential) with solvent
or carburetor cleaner, and dry with compressed
air.
. Turn the right and left steering knuckle fully out-
ward, and slide the right driveshaft into the dif-
ferential until you feel its spring clip engage the
side gear. Slide the left driveshaft into the inter-
mediate shaft until you feel the spring clip of the
intermediate shaft engage the left driveshaft,
18. Install right damper fork, then install the right and
left ball joints on each lower arm with the castle
nuts and new cotter pins (see section 18).

Troubleshooting
General Troubleshootin g
Check the following before you begin:
. Has the suspension been modified in a way that would affect steering?
. Are tire sizes, tire variety and air pressure correct?
. ls the steering wheel original equipment or equivalent?
. ls the power steering pump belt properly adjusted?
. ls steering fluid reservoir filled to proper level?
. ls the engine idle speed correct and steady?
Hard Steering (Check the power assist, see page 17-12. lf the force is over 29 N (3.0 kgl 6.6 lbfl, proceed with this troubleshooting.i
Abnormalthiidpressure (Iluidpressure is toohigh)

Check the pump fluid pressure(see page 17-16 or 17-17).Measure steady state lluid pres-
sure at idle with the pressure con-trol valve and the shut-off valve (it
so equipped) fully open.The fluid pressure should be 1,500kPa (15 kgf/cm,,213 psi)or less.

lnspection and Adjustment
Pump Pressure Gheck With T/N 07406 - 0010001
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whetherthe trouble is in the pump orgearbox.
1. Check the powsr steering fluid level (see page 17-15), and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump
outlet with care so as not to spill the pow€r steeringiluid on the frame and other pans. thon install theP/S joint adapter (pumpl on the pump outlet.

6. Fully open the pressure controlvatve.
7. Start the engine and let it idle.
8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock severaltimes to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
9, Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engineis idling. lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read less than 1,500 kPa (15 kgf/cmr, 213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve bodvunit (see General Troubleshooting).
10. Close the pressure control valve, then close theshut-off valve gradually until the pressure gauge
nsedle is stable. Read the pressure.
