On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000003532831
CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Before starting work, confirm belt tension is proper.
1. Connect Tool between oil pump discharge connector and high
pressure hose and then bleed air from the hydraulic circuit.
2. Start engine. Allow engine to run until tank temperature reaches 50 – 80°C (122 – 176°F).
CAUTION:
• Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is started with shut-off valve closed,
fluid pressure in power steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise fluid temperature
excessively.
• Be careful not to contact hose with belt when engine is started.
3. With engine at idle, close shut-off valve and read the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve of pressure gauge for more than 10 seconds.
4. After measurement, open shut-off valve slowly.
• If relief oil pressure is outside the specification, repair or replace oil pump. Refer to PS-22, "
Disassembly
and Assembly" .
5. After inspection, disconnect oil pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge adapter from hydraulic circuit, con-
nect oil pump discharge connector and high pressure hose. Add fluid and bleed air from hydraulic circuit
thoroughly. Refer to PS-6, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000003532832
REMOVAL
1. Drain power steering fluid from reservoir tank.
2. Remove engine room cover. Refer to EM-12, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-15, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove power steering reservoir tank.
5. Remove serpentine drive belt belt from auto tensioner and power steering pump. Refer to EM-13,
"Removal and Installation" .
6. Disconnect pressure sensor electrical connector.
7. Remove high pressure and low pressure piping from power steering oil pump. Refer to PS-23
.
8. Remove mounting bolts, then remove power steering pump.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Refer to PS-23 for tightening torque.

Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000003532833
INSPECTION BEFORE DISASSEMBLY
Disassemble the power steering oil pump only if the following items are found.
• Deformed or damaged pulley, bracket, connector or suction pipe.
• Oil leakage from the suction pipe or connector.
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Mount the power steering oil pump in a vise as needed.
1. Remove the connector bolt, connector and copper washers.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the copper washers.
2. Remove the suction pipe and O-ring.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the O-ring.
3. Remove the pulley nut and pulley.
4. Remove the bracket bolts and bracket.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Body Assembly Inspection
Check the power steering oil pump body assembly for damage. If any damage is found, replace with a new
power steering oil pump assembly.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse the copper gaskets
• Do not reuse the O-ring. Apply a coat of Genuine Nissan PSF or equivalent to the O-ring.
