PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
Use the table below to help determine the cause of the
problem. Likely causes of the problem are indicated in
descending order. Check each suspected area in order.
Repair or replace the faulty parts or perform adjustments as
necessary.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT DRIVE BELT
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear,
frayed cords, etc.
If any defect is found, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered
acceptable. Replace the belt if there are any
missing ribs.
2. CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.

(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the
fluid reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid:
ATF DEXRON II or III, or equivalent
HINT:
If the fluid is hot, check that the fluid level is within
the HOT range on the fluid reservoir. If the fluid is
cold, check that the fluid level is within the COLD
range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several
times to raise fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature:
75 to 80
C (167 to 176F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If foaming or emulsification is identified, bleed the
power steering system (See page PS-6).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the
fluid reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in
the fluid reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise:
5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed the power steering
system (See page PS-6).
(i) Check the fluid level.
3. INSPECT STEERING FLUID PRESSURE
(a) Disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly from
the vane pump assembly (See page PS-9).

C (167 to 176F)
(f) With the engine idling, close the valve of SST and
observe the reading on SST.
Standard fluid pressure:
7,800 to 8,300 kPa (79.5 to 84.6 kgf/cm
