Steering Wheel Play Check
With engine ON, check steering wheel play as follows. Move
steering wheel to the right and left from its straight position
and measure along its circumference how much it must be
turned before tires start to move. It should be as specified
below.
Steering wheel play
“a” : 30 mm (1.18 in.) or less
Also, check steering wheel for looseness or rattle by trying to
move it in its column direction and forward direction.
Steering Force Check
1) Place vehicle on level concreted road and set steering wheel
at straight position.
2) Check that tire inflation pressure is as specified (Refer to tire
placard).
3) Start engine and keep it running till power steering fluid is
warmed to 50 to 60 °C (122 – 140 °F).
4) With engine running at idling speed, measure steering force
by pulling spring balancer hooked on steering wheel in tan-
gential direction.
Steering force
Less than 6.0 kg (13.2 lb)

Power Steering Belt Check
INSPECTION
Check that belt is free from any damage and properly fitted
in pulley groove.
Check belt tension by measuring how much it deflects when
pushed at mid-point between pulley with about 10 kg (22 lb)
force.
Deflection of oil pump belt
“a” : 6 – 9 mm (0.25 – 0.35 in.)
Power Steering Belt Tension Adjustment
1) Loosen tension pulley bolts (3) and set hexagon wrench to
hexagon hole (5).
2) Turn tension pulley counterclockwise by hexagon wrench in
order to obtain above specification.
3) Tighten tension pulley bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Tension pulley bolts
(a) : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
Power Steering Fluid Level Check
With engine stopped check fluid level indicated on P/S fluid reser-
voir (1) or level gauge (3), which should be between MAX and
MIN marks. If it is lower than lower limit (MIN), replenish fluid up
to upper limit (MAX) mark.
1. P/S pump pulley 4. A/C compressor pulley (if equipped)
2. Crank pulley
CAUTION:
Make sure to use an equivalent of DEXRON
®-II,
DEXRON
®-IIE or DEXRON®-III for P/S fluid.
Fluid level should be checked when fluid is cool before
starting engine.
2. Cap

Idle-Up System Check
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn A/C switch OFF, if equipped.
3) Turn steering wheel fully and check idle speed.
Engine idle speed drops a little momentarily when steering wheel is turned fully but returns to its specified
level immediately. If power steering pressure switch connector is connected, check the same with that con-
nector disconnected. Momentary drop of engine idle speed should be less when it is connected than when
disconnected.
Power Steering Fluid Leakage Check
Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is applied to
system. Then visually check gear box, P/S pump and P/S fluid reservoir respectively and each joint of hydraulic
pressure piping for leakage. During this check, however, never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than
10 seconds.

Air Bleeding Procedure
AIR BLEEDING FROM SYSTEM
1) Jack up the front end of vehicle and apply rigid rack.
2) Fill P/S fluid reservoir with fluid up to specified level.
3) With engine running at idling speed, add fluid up to specified
level.
4) When fluid stops reducing, stop engine and leave P/S sys-
tem as it is for about 10 minutes.
5) After running engine at idling speed for 1 minute, stop it.
6) As a final step, check to make sure that fluid is up to speci-
fied level.
7) Check steering condition and P/S system for fluid leakage.
AIR BLEEDING FROM GEAR BOX
1) Remove steering gear box from vehicle referring to “Power
Steering (P/S) Gear Box” in this section.
2) Install special tool as shown.
Special tool
(A) : 09945-35010 CAUTION:
When air bleeding is not complete, it is indicated by
foaming fluid on level gauge or humming noise from P/S
pump.
NOTE:
Bleed air from system when P/S system has been ser-
viced in any way other than replacement of steering gear
box (e.g., disconnection of piping, replacement of P/S
pump). Never operate steering system while servicing.
Or Air Bleeding from gear box must be performed.
NOTE:
Bleed air from gear box:
When steering gear box has been replaced with a new
one.
When entry of air into hydraulic circuit of steering gear
box is suspected.
1. Steering gear box 3. High pressure hose / pipe
2. Low pressure hose / pipe

Hydraulic Pressure In P/S Circuit Check
1) Clean where pipe is connected thoroughly, then disconnect
high pressure hose from high pressure pipe connector and
connect oil pressure gauge (special tool) as shown.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77410
(B) : 09915-77420
2) Bleed air.
3) With engine running at idling speed, keep turning steering
wheel to the right and left till fluid in P/S fluid reservoir is
warmed to 50 to 60 °C (122 – 140 °F)
4) Back pressure check
With engine running at idling speed and hands off from
steering wheel, check hydraulic pressure.
If back pressure exceeds 980 kPa (10 kg/cm
2, 142 psi),
check control valve and pipes for obstruction.
Back pressure : 980 kPa (10 kg/cm
2, 142 psi)
1. To gear box 4. Union bolt
2. Attachment 5. Pressure hose
3. Washer
1. P/S fluid reservoir 5. Low pressure side
2. P/S pump 6. High pressure side
3. Steering gear box 7. Valve (open)
4. Oil pump pressure gauge

5) Relief pressure check
a) Increase engine speed to about 1,500 to 1,600 rpm.
Close valve (6) gradually while watching pressure increase
indicated on gauge (4) and take reading of relief pressure
(maximum hydraulic pressure).
If higher than 8,400 kPa (85 kg/cm
2, 1208 psi), malfunction
of relief valve.
If lower than 6,400 kPa (65 kg/cm
2, 925 psi), failure of P/S
pump or settling of relief valve spring.
Relief pressure
6,400 – 8,400 kPa (65 – 85 kg/cm
2, 925 – 1208 psi)
b) Next, open gauge valve (6) fully and increase engine speed
to about 1,500 to 1,600 r/min. Then turn steering wheel to
the left or right fully and take reading of relief pressure.
If lower than 6,400 kPa (65 kg/cm
2, 1280 psi), failure in
steering gear.
Relief pressure
6,400 – 8,400 kPa (65 – 85 kg/cm
2, 925 – 1208 psi) CAUTION:
Be sure not to keep gauge valve closed for longer than
10 seconds.
Never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than
10 seconds.
