(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.

(g) Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right and
check steering effort (torque) while turning the
wheel. Check the opposite direction in the same
manner.
Torque: Steering effort (Reference)
6.0 N*m (61 kgf*cm, 53 in.*lbf)
HINT:
Check the tire type, pressure, and the road surface
before making your diagnosis.
(h) Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the
battery.
(i) Tighten the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 50 N*m (510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf)
(j) Install the steering pad (See page RS-424).
(k) Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the battery.
(l) Clear the DTCs (See page RS-35).
(m) Inspect the airbag warning light (See page RS-27).

BLEEDING
1. BLEED POWER STEERING SYSTEM
(a) Check the fluid level (See page PS-2).
(b) Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with
stands.
(c) Turn the steering wheel.
(1) With the engine stopped, turn the steering
wheel slowly from lock to lock several times.
(d) Lower the vehicle.
(e) Start the engine.
(1) Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.
(f) Turn the steering wheel.
(1) With the engine idling, turn the steering wheel
left or right to the full lock position and keep it in
that position for 2 to 3 seconds, then turn the
steering wheel to the opposite full lock position
and keep it there for 2 to 3 seconds.
(2) Repeat this procedure several times.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Check for foaming or emulsification.
HINT:
If the system has to be bled twice because of
forming or emulsification, be sure to check for fluid
leaks in the system.
(i) Check the fluid level (See page PS-2).
