I I I Steering gear I
1 2 1 Additional cooling loop I
Independent of the equipment level, all vehicles
have conventional power-assisted rack and pinion
steering with an additional cooling loop.
The steering gear is supplied with hydraulic fluid
by a hydraulic pump.
The hydraulic pump is driven by the accessory
drive belt and has a separate reservoir.
Vehicles with petrol engines have a Power Steering
Pressure (PSP) switch in the pressure line, which
opens as the power steering load increases, thus
signalling to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
that it should increase the idle speed.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
8m ACAUTION:T~ prevent damage to the
steering linkage, turn the steering wheel to
move the steering linkage to the steering
lock stop.
Turn the steering wheel to position the steering
linkage against the left-hand steering lock stop.
9. N0TE:To isolate the steering gear design
'clearance, check the left-hand
tiemrod with
the steering held against the left-hand
steering lock stop.
With the aid of another technician holding the
steering against the left-hand steering lock stop,
firmly grasp the left-hand road wheel and apply
a rocking motion to check for any free play in
the tie-rod.
IQ Detach the steering gear boot from the steering
gear body and check for free play at the tie-rod
inner ball joint.
11. If there is free play at the tie-rod inner ball joint,
install a new tie-rod.
REFER to: Tie Rod (211-03 Steering Linkage,
Removal and lnstallation).
I2 If there is free play at the tie-rod end, install a
new tie-rod end.
REFER to: Tie Rod End (21 1-03 Steering
Linkage, Removal and lnstallation).
Turning Effort Test
N0TE:Before carrying out this test, make sure that
the suspension components are serviceable.
N0TE:Before carrying out this test, make sure that
the steering column is serviceable.
N0TE:Before carrying out this test, make sure that
the front toe adjustment and tire pressures are
correct. 1.
Park the vehicle on a dry, even surface and
apply the parking brake.

2. Remove the driver air bag module.
REFER to: Driver Air Bag Module (501 -20
Supplemental Restraint System, Removal and
Installation).
3. Remove the driver air bag module wiring
harness from the driver air bag module.
REFER to: Driver Air Bag Module Wiring
Harness (501 -20 Supplemental Restraint
System, Removal and Installation).
4. Connect the driver air bag module wiring
harness to the clockspring.
5. Connect the air bag simulators to the driver air
bag module wiring harness in place of the driver
air bag module at the top of the steering column.
6. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel
from lock to lock several times until the power
steering fluid has reached normal operating
temperature.
7. Using a suitable torque wrench and socket,
check the steering wheel turning effort.
8. If the steering wheel turning effort is greater than
the specification, install a new power steering -
