3) After running engine at idling speed for 3 to 5 seconds, stop
it and add fluid up to specified level. Repeat this step a few
times.
4) Set steering gear box (1) to state [A] as shown.
5) With engine running at idling speed, turn input shaft by using
special tool in both directions as far as it locks till all foams
are gone.
Special tool
(B) : 09944-18211
6) Perform Step 5) but with steering gear box in state [B] this
time and then in state [C].
7) Set input shaft at neutral position (straight position).
8) Remove (special) tools and install steering gear box to vehi-
cle and P/S pipe / hose to steering gear box referring to
“Power Steering (P/S) Gear Box” in this section.
9) Bleed air in P/S system referring to “Air Bleeding Procedure”
in this section.
10) Install pitman arm and steering lower shaft to steering gear
box. NOTE:
Don’t operate steering system for this step.
NOTE:
Add fluid into P/S fluid reservoir whenever its level
lowers while servicing.
Turn input shaft till it locks, return it a little and turn it
again in the same direction till it locks. Repeat this
some times.
NOTE:
To change of state of gear box from [A] to [B] and from
[B] to [C], turn gear box in arrow direction in figures [A]
and [B].
NOTE:
As input shaft makes 4 full turns from lock to lock, neu-
tral position is obtained by turning it till it locks and turn-
ing it back by 2 full turns.
2. Vinyl tube (See-through tube)
NOTE:
Don’t install pitman arm and steering lower shaft to
steering gear box.
Installation of these parts will cause input shaft and/or
sector shaft to turn, allowing air to enter gear box.
Plug up opening after pipe or hose disconnection.

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.
