Inspection and Repair
Make all necessary adjustments, repairs, and part
replacements if wear, damage, or other problems are
discovered during inspection.

Rotor
442RS002
Check that the groove in the vane is free from excessive
wear and that the vane slides smoothly. When par
t
replacement becomes necessary, the pump cartridge
should be replaced as a subassembly.

Vane
442RS003
Sliding faces of the vane should be free from wear.
(Particularly the curved face at the tip that contact with
the cam should be free from wear and distortion). When
part replacement becomes necessary, the pump
cartridge should be replaced as a subassembly.

Cam
The inner face of the arm should have a uniform contact
pattern without a sign of step wear. When part
replacement becomes necessary, the pump cartridge
should be replaced as a subassembly.

Side Plate
The sliding faces of parts must be free from step wear
(more than 0.01 mm), which can be felt by the finge
r
nail.
The parts with minor scores may be reused after lapping
the face.

Relief Valve
The sliding face of the valve must be free from burrs
and damage. The parts with minor scores may be
reused after smoothing with emery cloth (#800 or finer).

Shaft
Oil seal sliding faces must be free from a step wear
which can be felt by the finger nail. Bushing fitting face
must be free from damage and wear.

O-ring, Oil Seal, Snap Ring
Be sure to discard used parts, and always use new
parts for installation. Prior to installation, lubricate all
seals and rings with power steering fluid.

Pressure Switch
Check the switch operation as follows:
With engine idling and A/C on, turn the steering wheel
fully to the left; compressor should interrupt and engine
idle speed will increase. Shut off A/C and again turn
steering fully to the left; engine idle will increase. I
f
system fails to function properly, disconnect connecto
r
at the pressure switch and repeat system check while
testing continuity across disconnected SW connector.

Reassembly
1. Install oil seal to front housing. Be sure to discard
used oil seal, and always use new parts fo
r
installation.
CAUTION: When installing the oil seal, be careful
not to damage the oil seal contacting surface of the
housing.
2. Install shaft assembly.

3. Install the vanes to roter with curved face in contact
with the inner wall of cam.
442RS005
4. Install rotor and vanes to cam.
5. Install pin to front housing.
6. Install two new O-rings to front housing. Be sure to
discard used O-ring.
7. Install side plate.
CAUTION: When installing side plate, be careful not
to damage its inner surface. Damaged side plate
may cause poor pump performance, pump seizure
or oil leakage.
8. Install pump cartridge assembly to front housing.
9. Install snap ring to shaft end.
10. Install rear housing with a new O-ring. Be sure to
discard used O-ring. Then install bolt and tighten i
t
to specified torque.

Supplemental Restraint System Steering Wheel & Column
Service Precaution
This steering wheel and column repair section covers
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) steering
column. The following repair procedures are specific to
SRS components. When servicing a vehicle equipped
with Supplemental Restraint System, pay close attention
to all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.
For detailed explanation about SRS, refer to Restraints
section.
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, O
R
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
SAFE HANDLING OF INFLATOR MODULES
REQUIRES FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES
DESCRIBED BELOW FOR BOTH LIVE AND
DEPLOYED MODULES.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED
WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG). AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG) SURFACE MAY
CONTAIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SODIUM
HYDROXIDE, A BY-PRODUCT OF THE
DEPLOYMENT REACTION, THAT IS IRRITATING TO
THE SKIN AND EYES. MOST OF THE POWDER ON
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG) IS HARMLESS.
AS A PRECAUTION, WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY
GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY, AND WASH YOUR HANDS WITH MILD
SOAP AND WATER AFTERWARDS.

WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY,
MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM COVER ARE
POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER CARRY AN AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTO
R
ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MODULE. IN THE CASE OF
AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY.
WHEN PLACING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY ON A
BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE
BAG AND TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE
SURFACE.
NEVER REST A STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY FACE DOWN AND COLUMN VERTICAL.
THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE SPACE IS
PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. OTHERWISE,
PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SRS SYSTEM, DO NOT
USE ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS
BATTERY-POWERED OR A/C-POWERED VOLT-
METER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN SPECIFIED
IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A NON-POWERED
PROBE-TYPE TESTER.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL
INJURY MAY RESULT.

SRS Connectors
CAUTION: The special yellow color connectors are
used for supplemental restraint system-air bag
circuit.
When removing the cable harness, do not pull the
cables. Otherwise, cable disconnection may occur.
When connect the SRS connector, insert the
connector completely. Imperfect locking may cause
malfunction of SRS circuit.
