FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED
WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY
FROM MOVING PARTS.
The fluid level can be read on the exterior of the
power steering fluid reservoir. The fluid level should
be within the ªFILL RANGEº when the fluid is at
normal ambient temperature, approximately 21ÉC to
27ÉC (70ÉF to 80ÉF) (Fig. 15).
Before removing the power steering filler cap, wipe
the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Do not
overfill the power steering system. Use onlyMopart
Power Steering Fluid (MS-5931)or quivalent.
FLUID COOLER
DESCRIPTION
All models of this vehicle are equipped with a
cooler for the power steering system fluid. The power
steering fluid cooler is located on the front suspen-
sion cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 16).
There are two different size coolers offered depending
on options. There is a standard 6-inch and an 8-inch
for vehicles equipped with the heavy duty cooling
package.
OPERATION
The purpose of the power steering fluid cooler is to
keep the temperature of the power steering system
fluid from rising to a level that would affect the per-
formance of the power steering system.

PUMP (Continued)

The cooler used on this vehicle is referred to as a
fluid-to-air type cooler. This means that the air flow
across the tubes (and fines surrounding them) of the
cooler is used to extract the heat from the cooler
which it has absorbed from the power steering fluid
flowing through it. The cooler is placed in series with
the power steering fluid return line, between the
steering gear and the power steering fluid reservoir.
This lowers the temperature of the power steering
fluid prior to it entering the power steering fluid res-
ervoir where it is resupplied to the power steering
pump.
REMOVAL
(1) Using a siphon pump, remove as much fluid as
possible from the power steering fluid reservoir.
(2) Raise vehicle using a frame contact type hoist
or supported using jack stands. See Hoisting in
Lubrication And Maintenance.
(3) Remove the hose clamps at the cooler and
remove the hoses from the cooler inlet and outlet
tubes.
(4) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the power steer-
ing cooler cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig.
16). Remove the cooler.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the power steering fluid cooler on the
cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 16). Install
the mounting bolts and tighten to 11 N´m (100 in.
lbs.).
(2) Install power steering fluid hoses on the cooler.
Be sure hose clamps are installed on hose pastthe upset bead on the power steering cooler
tubes.
(3) Lower the vehicle to a point where front tires
are just off the ground.

tion procedure. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP -

EMISSIONS CONTROL
DESCRIPTION - MONITORED COMPONENT
There are several components that will affect vehi-
cle emissions if they malfunction. If one of these com-
ponents malfunctions the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine) will illuminate.
Some of the component monitors are checking for
proper operation of the part. Electrically operated
components now have input (rationality) and output
(functionality) checks. Previously, a component like
the Throttle Position sensor (TPS) was checked by
the PCM for an open or shorted circuit. If one of
these conditions occurred, a DTC was set. Now there
is a check to ensure that the component is working.
This is done by watching for a TPS indication of a
greater or lesser throttle opening than MAP and
engine rpm indicate. In the case of the TPS, if engine
vacuum is high and engine rpm is 1600 or greater
and the TPS indicates a large throttle opening, a
DTC will be set. The same applies to low vacuum
and 1600 rpm.Any component that has an associated
limp in will set a fault after 1 trip with the malfunc-
tion present.
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Codes Description
Charts in this section and the appropriate Power-
train Diagnostic Procedure Manual for diagnostic
procedures.
The following is a list of the monitored compo-
nents:
²Comprehensive Components
²Oxygen Sensor Monitor
²Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
²Catalyst Monitor
COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENTS
Along with the major monitors, OBD II requires
that the diagnostic system monitor any component
that could affect emissions levels. In many cases,
these components were being tested under OBD I.
The OBD I requirements focused mainly on testing
emissions-related components for electrical opens and
shorts.However, OBD II also requires that inputs from
powertrain components to the PCM be tested for
rationality, and that outputs to powertrain compo-
nents from the PCM be tested forfunctionality.
Methods for monitoring the various Comprehensive
Component monitoring include:
(1) Circuit Continuity
²Open
²Shorted high
²Shorted to ground
(2) Rationality or Proper Functioning
²Inputs tested for rationality
²Outputs tested for functionality
NOTE: Comprehensive component monitors are
continuous. Therefore, enabling conditions do not
apply.
Input RationalityÐWhile input signals to the
PCM are constantly being monitored for electrical
opens and shorts, they are also tested for rationality.
This means that the input signal is compared against
other inputs and information to see if it makes sense
under the current conditions.
PCM sensor inputs that are checked for rationality
include:
²Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
²Oxygen Sensor (O2S)
²Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
²Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
²Vehicle Speed Sensor
²Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
²Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
²Throttle Position (TPS) Sensor
²Ambient/Battery Temperature Sensors
²Power Steering Switch
²Oxygen Sensor Heater
²Engine Controller
²Brake Switch
²Leak Detection Pump Switch
²P/N Switch
²Trans Controls
Output FunctionalityÐPCM outputs are tested
for functionality in addition to testing for opens and
shorts. When the PCM provides a voltage to an out-
