INSPECTION
NOTICE:
When using a vise, do not overtighten it.
1. MEASURE OIL CLEARANCE BETWEEN VANE PUMP
SHAFT AND BUSHING
Using a micrometer and caliper gauge, measure the oil clear-
ance.
Standard clearance:
0.03 - 0.05 mm (0.0012 - 0.0020 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If it is more than the maximum, replace the front housing and
vane pump shaft.
2. INSPECT VANE PUMP ROTOR AND VANE PLATES
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the height, thickness and
length of the vane plates.
Minimum height: 8.6 mm (0.339 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.397 mm (0.0550 in.)
Minimum length: 14.991 mm (0.5902 in.)
(b) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the vane pump rotor groove and vane plate.
Maximum clearance: 0.035 mm (0.0014 in.)

If it is more than the maximum, replace the vane plate and/or
vane pump rotor with the one having the same mark stamped
on the cam ring.
Inscribed mark: 1, 2, 3, 4 or None
HINT:
There are 5 vane plate lengths with the following vane pump ro-
tor and cam ring marks:

(0.59020-0.59027)
3. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE
(a) Coat the flow control valve with power steering fluid and
check that it falls smoothly into the flow control valve hole
by its own weight.
(b) Check the flow control valve for leakage. Close one of the
holes and apply 392 - 490 kPa (4 - 5 kgf/cm
2, 57 - 71 psi)
of compressed air into the opposite side hole, and confirm
that air does not come out from the end holes.
If necessary, replace the flow control valve with the one having
the same letter as inscribed on the front housing.
Inscribed Mark: A, B, C, D, E or F
