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.

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.
Torque: 22-26 N
m (2.2-2.7 kg
m/16-20 lb ft)
11. Install suction pipe with a new O-ring. Be sure to
discard used O-ring. Then install bolt and tighten i
t
to specified torque.
Torque: 7.8-12 N
m (0.8-1.2 kg
m/6-9 lb ft)
12. Install relief valve and spring.
13. Install connector with a new O-ring. Be sure to
discard used O-ring. Tighten the connector to
specified torque.
Torque: 49-69 N
m (5.0-7.0 kg
m/36-51 lb ft)
14. Install pressure switch assembly and tighten it to
specified torque.
Torque: 15-20 N
m (1.5-2.0 kg
m/11-14 lb ft)

Removal
1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK".
3. Disconnect the battery "-" terminal cable, and wait a
t
least 5 minutes. (with SRS air bag)
4. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located
under the steering column. (with SRS air bag)
CAUTION: The wheels of the vehicle must be
straight ahead and the steering column in the
"LOCK" position before disconnecting the steering
wheel. Failure to do so will cause the coil assembly
to become uncentered which will cause damage to
the coil assembly. (with SRS air bag)
5. Disable the SRS (Refer to "Disabling the SRS" in
this section). (with SRS air bag)
6. Check the both side hole of the steering cover. (with
SRS air bag)
