STEERING
DESCRIPTION
Power steering systems consist of:
²Steering column & Intermediate Shaft
²Rack and pinion steering gear
²Belt driven hydraulic steering pump
²Pump pressure, supply and return hoses
²Oil Cooler
OPERATION
The steering column intermediate shaft attaches
the steering column to the gear pinion. The rotation
of the pinion moves the gear rack from side-to-side.
This lateral action of the rack pushes and pulls the
tie rods to change the direction of the front wheels.
Power assist is provided by an engine mounted
hydraulic pump. The pump supplies hydraulic fluid
to the steering gear. All vehicles are equipped with
an oil cooler.
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 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.
CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER 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 and (Fig. 1) 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 6844.
(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 the tube to the pump hose fitting.
(6) Connect the power steering hose from the
steering gear to the adapter.
(7) Open the test valve completely.
(8) Start engine and let idle long enough to circu-
late power steering fluid through flow/pressure test
gauge and to get air out of the fluid. Then shut off
engine.
(9) Check fluid level, add fluid as necessary. Start
engine again and let idle.
(10) Check for air bubbles, Evacuate if necessary
(11) Gauge should read below 862 kPa (125 psi), if
above, inspect the hoses for restrictions and repair as
necessary. The initial pressure reading should be in
the range of 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi).
(12) Increase the engine speed to 1500 RPM and
read the flow meter. If the flow rate (GPM) is below
specification, (refer to pump specification chart for
GPM) the pump should be replaced.
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing maximum pump pressure output and flow
control valve operation. Do not leave valve closed
for more than three seconds as the pump could be
damaged.

GEAR
DESCRIPTION
A rack and pinion steering gear (Fig. 1) is made up
of two main components, the pinon shaft and the
rack. The gear cannot be adjusted or internally ser-
viced. If a malfunction or a fluid leak occurs, the gear
must be replaced as an assembly.
OPERATION
The steering column intermediate shaft is attached
to the gear pinion. The rotation of the pinion moves
the gear rack from side-to-side. This lateral action of
the rack pushes and pulls the tie rods, which are
connected to the steering knuckles to change the
direction of the front wheels.

PUMP
DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic pressure for the power steering system
is provided by a belt driven power steering pump
(Fig. 1). The pump shaft has a pressed-on high
strength plastic drive pulley that is belt driven by
the crankshaft pulley. The integral reservoir used on
the 3.7L only is attached to the pump body with
spring clips (Fig. 1). The 2.4L uses a remote fluid res-
ervoir (Fig. 2). The power steering pump is connected
to the steering gear by the pressure and return
hoses.
OPERATION
The power steering pump is a constant flow rate
and displacement, vane-type pump. The pump inter-
nal parts operate submerged in fluid. The flow con-
trol orifice is part of the high pressure line fitting.
The pressure relief valve inside the flow control valve
limits the pump pressure.Fig. 1 POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY
