DIAGNOSIS
POWER STEERING SYSTEM
PRESSURE TEST
Tools Required
KM–354–B Pressure Test Gauge Kit
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether
the trouble is in the pump or the gear unit.
Test Procedure
1. Check the power steering fluid level and the power
steering pump belt tension. Refer to ”Checking and
Adding Fluid” in this section and Section 6B, Power
Steering Pump.
2. Disconnect the high pressure line at the pump. Use
a small container to catch any fluid.
3. Connect the hose of the pressure test gauge kit
KM–354–B to the power steering pressure hose
from the power steering pump.
4. Place the gear selector lever in PARK (automatic
transaxle–equipped vehicles) or NEUTRAL (manual
transaxle–equipped vehicles). Set the parking
brake.
5. Open the gauge valve fully.
6. Start the engine and let it idle.
7. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several
times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
8. Increase the engine speed to 1,500 rpm.
Notice : The power steering pump could be damaged if
the valve is fully closed for more than 5 seconds.
9. Close the gauge valve fully, and read the pressure.
The pump pressure with the valve closed should be
between 8,330 kPa to 8,820 kPa (1,208 psi to
1,279 psi). With electronic variable orifice, the pres-
sure should be between 8,500 kPa to 8,960 kPa
(1,233 psi to 1,299 psi).
10. Immediately open the gauge valve fully.
11. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and
the right. If the pressure is within the specified lim-
its, the problem is not in the pump. Check the pow-
er steering gear for leaks.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM LEAK
TEST
General Procedure
Inspect the following:
S The fluid reservoir for overfill.
S Fluid for aeration and overflow.
S The hoses for loose connections.
S The torsion bar, stub shaft and adjuster seals for
leaks.
S The component sealing surfaces for damage.
Important : Verify the exact point of the leak. The point
from which the fluid is dripping is not necessarily the point
at which the system is leaking. When service is required,
clean the leak area upon disassembly, replace the leaking
seal, check the component sealing surfaces for damage
and reset the torque bolt to specifications, where required.
External Leak Check
The purpose of this procedure is to pinpoint the location of
the leak. In some cases, the leak can be easily located, but
seepage–type leaks may be harder to find. To locate seep-
age leaks, use the following method:
1. With the engine off, wipe dry the complete power
steering system.
2. Check the power steering fluid level in the pump’s
reservoir. Adjust the fluid level as necessary. Refer
to ”Checking and Adding Fluid” in this section.
Notice : Do not hold the steering wheel at a stop for any
length of time as this can damage the power steering
pump.
3. Start the engine. Turn the steering wheel counter-
clockwise and clockwise from stop to stop several
times.
4. Find the exact area of the leak and repair it.

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
POWER RACK AND PINION
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary
control valve that directs hydraulic fluid coming from the
hydraulic pump to one side or the other side of the rack pis-
ton. The integral rack piston is attached to the rack. The
rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force
that moves the rack left or right. That force is then trans-
mitted through the tie rods to the steering knuckles, which
turn the wheels.
If power rack and pinion steering is not available, manual
rack and pinion control is used; however, with this system,
more steering effort is required. The movement of the
steering wheel is transferred to the pinion. The rotary
movement of the pinion is then transferred through the pin-
ion threads, which mesh with teeth on the rack, thereby
causing the rack to move in a linear direction.
A vane–type of hydraulic pump provides hydraulic pres-
sure for both steering systems.
SPEED SENSITIVE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The speed sensitive power steering (SSPS) system varies
the driver effort required to steer as the vehicle speed
changes. At low speeds, the system provides maximum
power assist for easy turning and parking maneuvers. At
higher speeds, the steering power is reduced to provide
the driver with firmer steering and directional stability. The
SSPS system accomplishes this by reducing the amount
of power steering fluid flow from the power steering pump
to the power steering gear as the vehicle speed increases.
When the vehicle is stationary, the SSPS system provides
maximum fluid flow to the steering gear. As the vehicle
speed increases, the fluid flow to the steering gear is de-
creased.
Control Module
The SSPS control module processes the vehicle speed in-
formation from the engine control module (ECM) and uses
the steering wheel rotation sensor to provide a control sig-
nal to the electronic variable orifice (EVO) actuator located
on the power steering pump.
Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) Actuator
The electronic variable orifice (EVO) actuator is located on
the power steering pump and contains a solenoid– oper-
ated pintle valve. Fluid leaving the pump passes through
an orifice in the actuator tip. When the EVO actuator is
powered by the SSPS control module, the pintle moves
into the orifice and reduces the power steering fluid flow.As the vehicle speed increases, current from the SSPS
control module increases, and the pintle blocks more and
more of the orifice.
Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor
The steering wheel rotation sensor is located at the end of
the steering column housing and is used to send a signal
to the controller when abrupt or evasive steering maneu-
vers are needed.
Power Steering Pressure Hose
SSPS vehicles have a specific pressure hose assembly
which includes an in–line check valve in the rack and pin-
ion assembly. This reduces the amount of steering wheel
”kick” when driving over irregular road surfaces while oper-
ating at speeds with reduced flow rate and pressure.
Power Rack and Pinion
Except for differences in valve machining, the design of
the SSPS power rack and pinion assembly is the same as
for the a non–SSPS system. The steering wheel move-
ment is transferred to the pinion via the intermediate shaft.
The pinion moves the rack left or right through meshing the
pinion and the rack teeth. The force is then transmitted
through the tie rods and steering knuckle to steer the
wheels.
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary
control valve which directs the hydraulic fluid from the
power steering pump to one side or the other side of the
rack piston. The piston is attached to the rack and uses hy-
draulic pressure to move the rack left or right. The rotary
control valve regulates the degree of assist by responding
to the driver’s torque input.
If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is main-
tained. However, under this condition, more steering effort
is required.
Power Steering Pump
The standard vane–type pump, which provides hydraulic
pressure for the system, incorporates a special discharge
fitting to hold the EVO actuator.
System Operation
System operation originates with input from the vehicle
speed sensor via the engine control module to the SSPS
control module. The SSPS control module sends a signal
to the SSPS actuator to vary the rate of fluid flow output
by the power steering pump.
Circuit Operation
The SSPS system uses inputs from the speed sensor and
steering wheel rotation sensor to the SSPS controller to
determine the desired amount of power steering assist.
The SSPS control module constantly compares the
amount of current flowing through the EVO actuator to the
desired current it has calculated. The EVO actuator has a
pintle that moves in and out of an orifice, regulating power
6E – 20ISTEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
CAUTION : To ensure the energy–absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
The energy–absorbing column is designed to compress in
a front–end collision to lessen the chance of driver injury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the col-
umn, allowing the ignition and steering operations to be
locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.The tilt steering column uses telescopic function to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down in and out. This en-
ables the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfort-
able position.
Notice : Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled easi-
ly.IGNITION KEY REMINDER
The ignition key reminder alerts the driver that the key is
still in the ignition when the driver attempts to exit the ve-
hicle.
An internal switch in the ignition lock cylinder supplies bat-
tery voltage to the reminder chime module when all of the
following conditions are true:
S The key is in the ignition switch.
S The ignition is OFF.
S The driver’s door is open.
For information on removal and installation of the reminder
chime module, refer to Section 9E, Instrumentation/Driver
Information.

3. Remove the connector from the driver airbag mod-
ule.
4. Remove the driver airbag module.
CAUTION : When handling an airbag module, al-
ways keep the top the unit facing upward. This
leaves room for the airbag to expand if the mod-
ule unexpectedly deploys. Without room for ex-
pansion, a module suddenly propelled toward a
person or object can cause injury or vehicle dam-
age.
5. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order.
Installation Notice
Tightening torque of the driver airbag module mount-
ing bolt is 8 NSm (71 lb–in).
CLOCK SPRING
Removal and Installation Procedure
CAUTION : The sensing and diagnostic mod-
ule(SDM) can maintain sufficient voltage to
deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1 min-
ute after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been
removed. If the airbags and pretensioners are not
disconnected, do not begin service until one
minute has passed after disconnecting power to
SDM. If the airbags are disconnected, service can
be excuted immediately without waiting for one–
minute time period to expire. Failure to tempo-
rarily disable the SIR during service can result in
unexpected deployment, personal injury and un-
necessary SIR repairs.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the driver airbag module. Refer to ”Driver
airbag module” in this section.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Section 6E,
Steering Wheel and Column.
4. Remove the screws from the upper and lower
steering column covers. And remove the covers.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINTS (SIR) 8B – 93
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
5. Remove the driver side knee bolster or instrument
panel lower cover.
6. Disconnect the driver airbag, horn and connectors
from the lower steering column.
7. Remove the screws and discard them.
8. Remove the clock spring from the steering shaft.
9. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order. Refer to ”Clock Spring Align-
ment” in this section for alignment.
Tightening torque of the clock spring screw is 3 NSm
(27 lb–in).
CAUTION : If the clock spring is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be able to ro-
tate completely during a turn. Restricted turning
ability can cause the vehicle to crash. Improper
alignment of the clock spring also may make the
SIR inoperative, preventing the airbag from de-
ploying during crash. Both of the out comes can
result in injury.
CLOCK SPRING ALIGNMENT
Notice : Turning the clock spring more than three turns
clockwise or counterclockwise can damage the spring.
1. Turn the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Turn the lobe of clock spring clockwise to lock (Do
not force).
3. Then turn the lobe of clock spring counterclockwise
approximately three turns to the neutral position,
with the front of the wheels straight ahead.
4. Properly align the pointed marks on the compo-
nents of the clock spring.
