AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The air conditioning system of this model differs by the country of origin (the production plant.).
One is Japan (IWATA) produced, other one is Canada (CAMI) produced.
For the details of the identification, please refer to IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION of Section 0A in this manual.
The compressor used of Japan (IWATA) produced vehicle is made of SEIKO SEIKI and the compressor used of
Canada (CAMI) produced vehicle is made of DENSO.
IDENTIFICATION OF REFRIGERATING
SYSTEM
Whether the A / C equipped with the vehicle being serviced uses re-
frigerant R-134a or R-12 is indicated on the LABEL installed the
compressor.
Also, it can be identified by the shape of the service (charge) valve.
The compressor manufacturer, it can be identified by the LABEL on
compressor body.

or equivalent
FLOW CONTROL VALVE
As the discharge rate of the P/S pump increases in proportion to the
pump revolution speed, a flow control valve is added to control it so
that the optimum amount of fluid for steering operation is supplied
according to the engine speed (driving condition).
Described below is its operation at different engine speed.

REMOVAL
NOTE:
Be sure to clean each joint of suction and discharge sides
thoroughly before removal.
1) Remove suction hose from pump, then disconnect battery nega-
tive cable.
2) Remove P / S fluid reservoir with suction hose.
3) Remove union bolt. Then disconnect high pressure pipe from
pump.
NOTE:
As fluid flows out of disconnected joints, put a receptacle
under joints or a plug to pipe.
4) Disconnect pressure switch lead wire at switch terminal.
5) Loosen related bolts and remove power steering drive belt.
6) Remove P / S pump mounting bolt (s).
7) Remove P / S pump.
NOTE:
Plug each port of removed pump to prevent dust or any oth-
er foreign matter from entering.
DISASSEMBLY
1) Clean its exterior thoroughly.
2) With aluminum plates placed on vise first, grip pump body with
it.
3) Remove suction connector bolt, suction connector and O-ring
from pump body.
4) Remove power steering pressure switch (terminal set) from
pump body.
5) Remove plug, flow control spring and relief valve (flow control
valve) from pump body.
6) Remove cover bolts, pump cover and O-ring from pump body.
7) Remove snap ring from pump shaft.
8) Remove vanes from rotor.
9) Remove cam ring, rotor, side plate and O-rings from pump
body.

INSPECTION
Pump Body, Cover, Side Plate and Shaft
Check sliding surfaces of each part for wear and damage.
If any defect is found, replace pump assembly.
Cam Ring
Check vane sliding surface of cam ring for wear and damage.
If any defect is found, replace pump assembly.
Rotor and Vane
Check sliding surfaces of rotor and vane for wear and damage.
Check clearance between rotor and vane.
Clearance: Standard 0.015 mm (0.0006 in.)
Limit 0.027 mm (0.0011 in.)
Replace pump assembly if any defect is found in above checks.
Relief Valve (Flow Control Valve) and Its Spring
Check fluid passage of relief valve and orifice of connector for ob-
struction (clogged).
Check sliding surface of relief valve for wear and damage.

ing surface of the shaft then insert pulley's shaft from oil seal side
of the pump body.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
2) Apply power steering fluid to O-rings and fit them to pump body.
3) Install side plate to pump body.
NOTE:
Carefully align the dowel pins on the side plate at bolt hole
as shown in figure.
4) Apply power steering fluid to sliding surface of rotor.
5) Install rotor to shaft, directing dot marked side of rotor facing up.
6) Install new snap ring to shaft, then make sure to fit snap into shaft
groove securely.
NOTE:
Never reuse the removed snap ring.
