(See NOTE “D”.)Air drawn in due to insufficient fluid Replenish fluid.
Air drawn in through pipe or hose joints Retighten or replace.
Belt slipping (loose) Adjust.
Worn belt Replace.
Loose steering linkage Retighten.
Loose gear box fixing bolt Retighten.
Loose pitman arm Retighten.

NOTE:
“C” : Turn steering wheel 90° at 35 km/h (22 mile/h) and let it free. If it returns more than 60° then, it
is normal.
“D” : Some hissing noise may be heard through steering column when turning steering wheel with
vehicle halted. It is from operation of the valve in the gear box and indicates nothing abnormal.

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.

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
