PAS Fluid Level
Check/Top-up
1.Check Power Assisted Steering (PAS) fluid
level. Before topping up PAS fluid level, ensure
there are no leaks from the pump, hoses,
unions or steering rack.

models
Check and Top-up Fluid
1.With vehicle on a ramp at a convenient working
height, carefully remove IRD level plug and
collect sealing washer.
2.Check oil level. Before topping up oil level,
check for visible signs of leakage. Pay
particular attention to drive shaft and prop shaft
oil seals.

Gear Change and Parking Pawl Engagement –
(Automatic only, normal driving conditions)
1.Select 'R' and check for smooth take up.
2.Select 'D' and check for smooth up-changes of
ratio from rest.
3.Slow down vehicle and check for smooth down-
changes of ratio.
4.Stop vehicle on a slope.
5.Select 'P' and release handbrake.
6.Check that vehicle does not move and that
selector does not slip out of 'P'.
7.Carry out a similar check with vehicle facing in
the opposite direction.
Steering
1.With vehicle stationary, turn steering from lock
to lock. Check for smooth operation and ensure
there is no undue noise from the power steering
pump or drive belt.
Suspension
1.Check for noise, irregularity in ride (e.g.
dampers) and wheel imbalance.
Foot brake
1.Check for pedal effort, travel, braking
efficiency, pulling and binding.
Handbrake
1.Apply handbrake firmly, check travel and
ratchet hold and release.
Instruments
1.Check for correct operation of all instruments
and warning devices where practical.
Body
1.Check for abnormal body noise.
Seat Belts
1.Check for operation of inertia reels.Road Test
1.Drive vehicle on a short road test. Check all
vehicle systems for correct operation. Pay
particular attention to:
lEngine noise
lGearbox noise
lSuspension noise
lBody noise
lBraking system operation
lGear selection
lEngine performance
2.Where possible, check for correct operation of
Hill Descent Control (HDC) system. This should
not be carried out if excessive journey time is
required.
3.After road test, carry out a final inspection of the
vehicle on vehicle ramps.
4.Check all underbonnet fluid levels and top-up if
necessary.

Power assisted steering (PAS) system -
bleed
$% 57.15.02
Check
1.Switch off engine.
2.Check power steering fluid, if aerated, wait until
fluid is free from bubbles then top-up reservoir
to 'UPPER' level mark.
3.Fit reservoir filler cap.
Adjust
1.Clean PAS fluid reservoir around filler cap and
fluid level indicators.
2.Remove filler cap from reservoir and fill
reservoir to 'UPPER' mark with Dexron II D
power steering fluid. Fluid must always be
present in reservoir while bleeding.
3.Start engine and allow to run at idle for 10
seconds. Stop engine.
4.Top-up steering fluid reservoir.
5.Start engine and turn steering fully to LH and
RH locks. Stop engine.
CAUTION: Do not hold steering at full lock
for longer than 10 seconds.
6.Top-up steering fluid reservoir.
7.Start and run engine for 2 minutes, turn
steering fully to RH and LH locks.

$% 57.40.52
Check
1.Select position 'P'.
2.Remove key from starter switch.
3.Check that selector lever cannot be moved
from 'P' position.
4.Insert and turn key to position II.
5.Depress brake pedal and check that selector
lever can be moved from 'P' position, and key
cannot be removed from starter switch. Key
should only rotate back to a position between I
and 0.
Adjust
1.Select position 'P'.
2.Remove key from starter switch.
3.Remove front console.

REPAIRS, Console - front - up to 04MY.
4.Loosen bolt securing cable clamp.
5.Pull cable away from interlock mechanism until
spring pressure is felt. Correct adjustment is
cable free play removed without compressing
spring. When correct tighten interlock cable
clamp screw to 6 Nm (4.5 lbf.ft).
6.Recheck cable operation.

Check
1.Position absorbent cloth to catch spillage.
2.Remove bolt securing PAS high pressure pipe
clip to PAS pump.
3.Loosen union securing high pressure pipe to
PAS pump and release pipe.
4. K1.8 models: Fit adaptor LRT-57-034A to high
pressure port of PAS pump.
5. KV6 & Td4 models: Fit adaptor LRT-57-042 to
high pressure port of PAS pump.
6.Fit adaptor LRT-57-035 to existing high
pressure hose.
7.Fit hose LRT-57-002 to each adaptor.
8.Fit pressure gauge LRT-57-005 to test valve

9.Connect hoses LRT-57-002 to LRT-57-001
and tighten unions.
10.Ensure steering system and test equipment is
free from leaks.
11.Maintain maximum fluid level during test.
12.With the test valve open, start the engine.
13.Pressure at idle should be between 5 and 7
bar.
14.With the engine at idle, slowly turn the steering
wheel and hold on full lock.
15.Repeat procedure for other side.
16.Test pressure should rise significantly as
steering wheel is rotated and continue to rise as
full lock is approached. For full lock pressures,
refer to general data section.

+ GENERAL DATA, Steering.
17.With the engine at idle, release steering wheel.
For idle pressure, refer to general data section.

+ GENERAL DATA, Steering.
18.Pressures outside the above tolerance
indicates a fault.19.To determine if fault is in steering pump or
steering rack, close the test valve for a
maximum of 5 seconds.
CAUTION: Pump damage will occur if test
valve is closed for longer periods.
20.If gauge does not register correct reading,
suspect faulty pump.
21.If PAS pump pressure is correct and steering is
heavy at idle and becomes light as engine RPM
is increased, suspect pump flow rate.
22.If maximum pump pressure is correct, suspect
steering rack.
23.On completion stop engine and remove test
equipment.
24.Clean PAS pump and pipe union.
25.Fit new 'O' ring to high pressure pipe, align to
PAS pump and tighten union to 25 Nm (18
