2. CHECK STEERING FLUID PRESSURE
(a) Remove the air cleaner assembly with the air cleaner
hose connected (See page SR±26).
(b) Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the PS vane
pump (See page SR±26).
(c) Connect SST, as shown in the illustration.
SST 09640±10010 (09641±01010, 09641±01030,
09641±01060)
NOTICE:
Check that the valve of the SST is in the open position.
(d) Bleed the power steering system (See page SR±4).
(e) Start the engine and run at idle.
(f) Turn the steering wheel from the lock position to the other
side of lock position several times to boost fluid tempera-
ture.
Fluid temperature: 80 °C (176 °F)
(g) With the engine idling, close the valve of the SST and ob-
serve the reading on the SST.
Minimum fluid pressure:
8,336 kPa (85 kgf/cm
2, 1,209 psi)
NOTICE:
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 se-
conds.
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
(h) With the engine idling, open the valve fully.
(i) Measure the fluid pressure at engine speeds of 1,000 rpm
and 3,000 rpm.
Difference in fluid pressure:
490 kPa (5 kgf/cm
2, 71 psi) or less
NOTICE:
Do not turn the steering wheel.

(j) With the engine idling and the valve fully opened, turn the
steering wheel left or right to the full lock position.
Minimum fluid pressure:
8,336 kPa (85 kgf/cm
2, 1,209 psi)
NOTICE:
Do not maintain the lock position for more than 10 se-
conds.
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
(k) Disconnect the SST.

(l) Connect the pressure feed tube (See page SR±36).
(m) Install the air cleaner assembly with air cleaner hose (See
page SR±36).
(n) Bleed air from the power steering system
(See page SR±4).

INSPECTION
1. TURN AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH OFF
2. CHECK IDLE±UP
(a) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(b) Fully turn the steering wheel.
(c) Check that the engine speed decrease when the vacuum
hose of the air control valve is pinched.
(d) Check that the engine speed increase when the hose is
released.

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY
(a) Stop the vehicle and face the tires straight ahead.
(b) Gently rock the steering wheel up and down with a finger,
and check the steering wheel free play.
Maximum free play: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR±12).
(c) Start the engine and run at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
Steering effort (Reference):
4.9 N´m (50 kgf´cm, 43 in.´lbf)
HINT:
Check tire type, pressure and contact surface before making
your diagnosis.
(e) Tighten the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 50 N´m (510 kgf´cm, 37 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the steering wheel pad (See page SR±23).

REPAIR PROCEDURES
HINT:
This is the repair procedure for steering off center.
1. INSPECT STEERING WHEEL OFF CENTER
(a) Apply masking tape on the top center of the steering
wheel and steering column upper cover.
(b) Drive the vehicle in a straight line for 100 meters at a
constant speed of 35 mph (56 km/h), and hold the steer-
ing wheel to maintain the course.
(c) Draw a line on the masking tape as shown in the illustra-
tion.

(d) Turn the steering wheel to its straight position.
HINT:
Refer to the upper surface of the steering wheel, steering spoke
and SRS airbag line for the straight position.
(e) Draw a new line on the masking tape of the steering wheel
as shown in the illustration.
(f) Measure the distance between the 2 lines on the masking
tape of the steering wheel.
(g) Convert the measured distance to steering angle.
Measured distance 1 mm (0.04 in.) = Steering angle
approximately 1 deg.
HINT:
Make a note of the steering angle.
2. ADJUST STEERING ANGLE
(a) Draw a line on the RH and LH tie rod and rack ends where
it can easily be seen.
(b) Using a paper gauge, measure the distance from RH and
LH tie rod ends to the rack end screws.
HINT:
Measure the RH side and LH side.
Make a note of the measured values.
(c) Remove the RH and LH boot clips from the rack boots.
(d) Loosen the RH and LH lock nuts.
(e) Turn the RH and LH rack end by the same amount (but
in different directions) according to the steering angle.
1 turn 360 deg. of rack end (1.5 mm (0.059 in.) horizon-
tal movement) = 12 deg. of steering angle
(f) Tighten the RH and LH lock nuts.
Torque: 55 N´m (560 kgf´cm, 41 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
Make sure that the difference in length between RH and LH
tie rod ends and rack end screws are within 1.5 mm (0.059
in.).
(g) Install the RH and LH boot clips.
