INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RELIEF VALVE
Coat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly
into the valve hole under its own weight.
If it doesn't, replace the relief valve. If necessary, replace the oil
pump assembly.
2. PLACE DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS INTO OIL PUMP
BODY
The marks on the rotors must face up.
3. INSPECT ROTOR TIP CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive
and driven rotors.
Standard tip clearance:
0.060 ± 0.240 mm (0.0024 ± 0.0094 in.)
Maximum tip clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors
as a set.
4. INSPECT ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driv-
en rotor and pump body.
Standard body clearance:
0.100 ± 0.175 mm (0.0039 ± 0.0069 in.)
Maximum body clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
5. INSPECT ROTOR SIDE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge, measure the
clearance between the rotors and precision straight edge.
Standard side clearance:
0.030 ± 0.090 mm (0.0012 ± 0.0035 in.)
Maximum side clearance:
0.12 mm (0.0047 in.)
If the side clearance is greater than maximum, replace the ro-
tors as a set. If necessary, replace the oil pump assembly.
6. REMOVE DRIVE AND DRIVEN ROTORS

If it is more than the maximum, replace the plate and/or rotor
with one having the same mark stamped on the cam ring.

3. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE
(a) Coat the valve with power steering fluid and check that it
falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
(b) Check the flow control valve for leakage.
Close one of the holes and apply compressed air
392±490 kPa (4±5 kgf/cm
2, 57±71 psi) into the opposite
side, and confirm that air does not come out from the end
holes.
If necessary, replace the valve with one having the same letter
as inscribed on the front housing.
Inscribed mark: A, B, C, D, E or F

(f) Cover steering wheel pad with cardboard box or tires.

Covering method using cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 190 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
x=460 mm (18.11 in.)
When dimension of the cardboard box exceeds the di-
ameter of the disc wheel with tire which the steering
wheel pad is tied to±
x=460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y= 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is used,
the cardboard box will be broken by the shock from the air-
bag deployment.

Covering method using tires:
Place at least 3 tires without disc wheel on top of the
disc wheel with tire to which the steering wheel pad
is tied.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions±
Width: 185 mm (7.87 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with disc wheels.
NOTICE:
The tires may be marked by the airbag deployment, so use
the redundant tires.
(g) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(±) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around
the disc wheel which the steering wheel pad is tied
to.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.

3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the off±the±car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the on±the±car balance.
Unbalance after adjustment: 8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less
NOTICE:

Adhere the sticking type balance weight to the flat
position shown in the illustration.

Push the balance weight securely with a finger to ad-
here it to the position.
(Pushing force: 10 kgf/more than 2 secs.)

After cleaning the surface which the balance weight
will be adhered to of dirt, oil and water with a cleaning
detergent, adhere the balance weight to the surface.

Do not touch the sticking surface of the tape.

Do not use the once used balance weight.

Please use the TOYOTA genuine sticking type bal-
ance weight.
4. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Check the backlash in the bearing shaft direction.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
(b) Check the axle hub deviation.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
5. CHECK FRONT SUSPENSION FOR LOOSENESS
6. CHECK STEERING LINKAGE FOR LOOSENESS
7. CHECK BALL JOINT FOR LOOSENESS AND
EXCESSIVE PLAY (See page SA±34)
8. CHECK SHOCK ABSORBER WORKS PROPERLY

Check for oil leak

Check mounting bushings for wear

Bounce front and rear of the vehicle
