6A – 2IPOWER STEERING SYSTEM
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
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.
AUDIO SYSTEMS 9F – 11
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
STEREO CASSETTE AM/FM RADIO
There are three audio systems offered. The stereo digital
logic cassette AM/FM radio with electronic tape ejection
is offered in standard and deluxe models. Both models
feature RDS (radio data system) which automatically se-
lects the best station within the chain of RDS stations cur-
rently being listened to. A trunk mounted CD changer is
also available.
AUDIO SCURITY SYSTEM
The audio security system is activated whenever the audio
system circuit is disconnected from the battery. A four–
digit security code must be entered in order for the audio
system to resume functioning. The security code is
stamped on a card located in the vehicle (usually in the
glove box). The following security code entering proce-
dure must be used to deactivate the audio security sys-
tem:
1. After connecting the audio security system to the
battery, ”CODE” will flash on the display.
2. Enter the proper security number into the unit, us-
ing the preset buttons No. 1 through 8.
3. For example, if the security number is ”1234”:
a. Press the preset button No. 1. ”CODE” will
disappear and ”1 – – – ” will appear on the dis-
play.
b. Press the preset button No. 2, and ”12 – – ”
will appear.
c. Press the preset button No. 3, and ”123– ” will
appear.
d. Press the preset button No. 4, and ”1234” will
appear and flash three times.4. The audio system will function and will transfer to
the radio.
If the incorrect security number is entered into the unit,
”Err” will appear followed by ”CODE” and there will be sev-
eral audible beeps. If this happens, repeat the security en-
tering procedure beginning with Step 2.
SPEAKERS
All audio systems use eight speakers, four speakers and
four tweeters mounted in each door.
TAPE PLAYER AND CASSETTE
CARE
The head and the capstan are the two parts of the tape
player that should be cleaned. This service should be per-
formed every 100 hours of cassette operation.
To clean the head and the capstan, use a cotton swab
dipped in rubbing alcohol.
A cassette cleaning kit may also be used to clean the head
and the capstan. Follow the cleaning kit instructions to
clean the tape player.
Do not touch the tape head with magnetized tools. If the
head becomes magnetized, it will degrade cassettes
played in the player. No service is performed on the cas-
settes. The cassette manufacturer handles warranties of
the cassettes. Store cassettes away from extreme heat
and direct sunlight.
COMPACT DISC CARE
Handle discs carefully. Store the discs in protective cases
away from the sun, heat, and dust. If the surface is soiled,
dampen a clean, soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral de-
tergent and wipe the disc clean.
