PS
(g) With the engine idling, open the valve fully.
(h) Measure the fluid pressure at engine speeds of
1,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm.
Fluid pressure difference:
490 kPa (5 kgf/cm
2, 71 psi) or less
NOTICE:
Do not turn the steering wheel.
(i) With the engine idling and the valve fully opened,
turn the steering wheel left or right to the full lock
position. Observe the reading on SST.
Standard fluid pressure:
7,800 to 8,300 kPa (79.5 to 84.6 kgf/cm
2, 1,131
to 1,204 psi)
NOTICE:
• Do not keep the steering wheel in the full lock
position for more than 10 seconds.
• Do not allow the fluid temperature to become
too high.
(j) Disconnect SST.
(k) Connect the pressure feed tube assembly to the
vane pump assembly (See page PS-19).
(l) Bleed the power steering system (See page PS-6).
4. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Stop the vehicle on a level, paved surface and turn
the wheels straight ahead.
(b) Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the
battery.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the
cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to
prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner
activation.
(c) Remove the steering pad (See page RS-423).
(d) Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the battery.
(e) Using a torque wrench, check if the steering wheel
set nut is properly tightened.
Torque: 50 N*m (510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf)
(f) Start the engine and run it at idle.

10. REMOVE VANE PUMP HOUSING OIL SEAL
(a) Using a screwdriver and a shop rag or a piece of
cloth, remove the vane pump housing oil seal from
the vane pump front housing.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the vane pump front
housing.
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT VANE PUMP SHAFT AND BUSHING IN
VANE PUMP FRONT HOUSING
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter [a]
of the vane pump shaft with pulley.
(b) Using vernier calipers, measure the inner diameter
[b] of the vane pump front housing bushing.
(c) Calculate the oil clearance.
Oil clearance = Inner diameter of the bushing [b] -
Outer diameter of the shaft [a]
Maximum oil clearance:
0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the oil clearance exceeds the maximum, replace
the vane pump assembly.
2. INSPECT VANE PUMP ROTOR AND VANE PUMP
PLATE CLEARANCE
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
vane pump plates.
Standard thickness:
1.405 to 1.411 mm (0.05531 to 0.05555 in.)
If the thickness is not within the specified range,
replace the vane pump assembly.
(b) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance
between the side face of the vane pump rotor
groove and the vane pump plates.
Maximum clearance:
0.03 mm (0.0012 in.)
If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the
