ACCELERATOR PEDAL
REMOVAL
The accelerator pedal is connected to the throttle
body linkage by the throttle cable. The cable is pro-
tected by a plastic sheathing and is connected to the
throttle body linkage by a ball socket. It is connected
to the accelerator pedal arm by a plastic retainer
(clip) (Fig. 16). This retainer (clip) snaps into the top
of the accelerator pedal arm. A retainer clip (Fig. 16)
is also used to fasten cable to dash panel.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or kink the
cable core wire (within the cable sheathing) while
servicing accelerator pedal or throttle cable.
(1) From inside vehicle, hold up accelerator pedal.
Remove plastic cable retainer (clip) and throttle cable
core wire from upper end of pedal arm. Plastic cable
retainer (clip) snaps into pedal arm.
(2) Remove accelerator pedal bracket nuts. Remove
accelerator pedal assembly.

STEERING
DESCRIPTION - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
The power steering pump (Fig. 1) is a constant
flow rate and displacement vane type pump. The
pump reservoir is attached to the pump body. The
pump is connected to the steering by the pressure
and return hoses. The steering gear (Fig. 1) used is a
recirculating ball type gear. A tilt and non-tilt column
provide steering input.
The power steering system consists of:
OPERATION - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
The rack piston balls act as a rolling thread
between the worm shaft and rack piston. The worm
shaft is supported by a thrust bearing at the lower
end and a bearing assembly at the upper end. When
the worm shaft is turned from input from the steer-
ing column the rack piston moves. The rack piston
teeth mesh with the pitman shaft. Turning the worm
shaft turns the pitman shaft, which moves the steer-
ing linkage.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
STEERING NOISE
There is some noise in all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound evident at a
standstill parking. Or when the steering wheel is at the end of it's travel. Hiss is a high frequency noise similar
to that of a water tap being closed slowly. The noise is present in all valves that have a high velocity fluid passing
through an orifice. There is no relationship between this noise and steering performance.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STEERING FLOW
AND PRESSURE
The following procedure is used to test the opera-
tion of the power steering system on the vehicle. This
test will provide the gallons per minute (GPM) or
flow rate of the power steering pump along with the
maximum relief pressure. Perform test any time a
power steering system problem is present. This test
will determine if the power steering pump or power
steering gear is not functioning properly. The follow-
ing pressure and flow test is performed using Power
Steering Analyzer Tool kit 6815 (Fig. 2) and Adapter
Kit 6893.
FLOW AND PRESSURE TEST
(1) Check the power steering belt to ensure it is in
good condition and adjusted properly.
(2) Connect pressure gauge hose from the Power
Steering Analyzer to Tube 6865.
(3) Connect Adapter 6826 to Power Steering Ana-
lyzer test valve end.
(4) Disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power steering pump.
(5) Connect Tube 6865 to the pump hose fitting.(6) Connect the power steering hose from the
steering gear to Adapter 6826.
(7) Open the test valve completely.Fig. 2 Power Steering Analyzer

(8) Start engine and let idle long enough to circu-
late power steering fluid through flow/pressure test
gauge.
(9) Shut off the engine and check the fluid level,
add fluid as necessary. Start engine again and let
idle.
(10) The initial pressure reading should be
345-552 kPa (50-80 psi). If pressure is higher inspect
the hoses for restrictions and repair as necessary.
(11) Increase the engine speed to 1500 RPM and
read the flow meter. The reading should be 2.4 - 2.8
GPM, if the reading is below this specification the
pump should be replaced.
CAUTION: This next step involves testing maximum
pump pressure output and flow control valve oper-
ation. Do not leave valve closed for more than three
seconds as the pump could be damaged.
(12) Close valve fully three times for three seconds
and record highest pressure indicated each time.All
three readings must be at pump relief pressure
specifications and within 345 kPa (50 psi) of
each other.
²Pressures above specifications but not within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other, replace pump.
²Pressures within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each other
but below specifications, replace pump.
CAUTION: Do not force the pump to operate against
the stops for more than 2 to 4 seconds at a time
because, pump damage will result.
(13) Open the test valve and turn the steering
wheel to the extreme left and right positions against
the stops. Record the highest pressure reading at
each position. Compare readings to the pump specifi-
cations chart. If pressures readings are not within 50
psi. of each other, the gear is leaking internally and
must be repaired.

HYDRAULIC
The following procedures are used to test the oper-
ation of the power steering and hydraulic fan sys-
tems on the vehicle. This test will provide the gallons
per minute (GPM) or flow rate of the power steering
pump along with any maximum relief pressure. Per-
form test anytime a power steering system problem
is present. This test will determine if the power
steering pump, hydraulic fan, and power steering
gear are not functioning properly. It will also deter-
mine if the flow coming out of the hydraulic fan
motor is sufficient for the power steering gear. The
following pressure and flow test is performed using
the Power Steering Analyzer Tool kit 6815 (Fig. 2)
and Adapter kit 8630 (Fig. 3).
FLOW TEST - FLOW FROM POWER STEERING
PUMP
(1) Check the power steering belt to ensure it is in
good condition and adjusted properly.
(2) Connect the pressure gauge hose from the
Power Steering Analyzer to Tube 8630-2.
(3) Connect Adapter 8630-3 to Power Steering
Analyzer test valve end.
(4) Disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power steering pump.
(5) Connect Tube 8630-2 to the pump hose fitting.
(6) Connect the power steering hose from the fan
motor to Adapter 8630-3.
(7) Open the test valve completely.
(8) Start engine and let idle long enough to circu-
late power steering fluid through the flow/pressure
test gauge.
(9) Shut off the engine and check the fluid level,
add fluid ass necessary. Start engine again and let
idle.
(10) The initial pressure reading should be 483 -
690 kPa (70 - 100 psi). If pressure is higher inspect
the hoses for restrictions and repair as necessary.

GEAR
DESCRIPTION
The power steering gear is a recirculating ball type
gear (Fig. 1) .
The following gear components can be serviced:
²Pitman Shaft and Cover
²Pitman Shaft Bearings
²Pitman Shaft Oil Seal/Dust Seal
²Stud Shaft Housing with Seal
²O-Rings and Teflon Rings
NOTE: If rack piston assembly is damaged the gear
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The gear acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is sup-
ported by a thrust bearing at the lower end and a
bearing assembly at the upper end. When the worm
shaft is turned the rack piston moves. The rack pis-
ton teeth mesh with the pitman shaft. Turning the
worm shaft turns the pitman shaft, which turns the
steering linkage.
