Power Steering System-Steering Pipeline Component4-73I. Onboard Check1. Check the transmission strap.
Check the transmission strap whether it is worn out. If necessary, replace a new transmission strap.
Tips: Crack at the edge of the strap teeth is acceptable. If the strap teeth fall, replace a new strap.
2. Discharge the air in the power steering system.
(1)Check the liquid level.
(2)Lift the front part of the vehicle with a jack in a safety manner.
(3)Rotate the steering wheel.
After the motor is shut down, rotate the steering wheel to the left/right limit position lightly. Repeat such
operation several times.
(4)Loosen the jack, and put down the vehicle.
(5)Start the motor, and make it run idly for several minutes.
(6)Rotate the steering wheel to one side limit position for 2-3 seconds, and then rotate it to the other side limit
position for 2-3 seconds. Repeat such operations several times.Section 3 Steering Pipeline ComponentComponent ViewPower steering high pressure

2. Check the pedal free stroke.
(1) Shut down the motor, and step on the brake pedal repeatedly
till the booster is not vacuum.
(2) Step down the pedal till resistance appears, and measure the
distance as shown in the figure.
Pedal free travel: 1-6mm
If the clearance does not meet the requirement, check the
clearance of the brake light switch. If the clearance is correct,
make diagnosis on the braking system.
Clearance: 0.5-2.4mm
3. Check the pedal reserved distance.
Loosen the parking brake extension rod.
When the motor is running, step down the pedal, and measure the
pedal reserved distance as shown in the figure.
When stepping on the pedal 490N, the reserved distance from the
asphalt floor is larger than 55mm
If the distance doesn't meet the requirement, make diagnosis on
the braking system.Brake System -Brake Pedal4-83Braking lamp switch

II. Charging system inspection1. Check battery working voltage
(1) After having driven the vehicle and in the case that 20 minutes
have not passed after having stopped the engine,turn the ignition
switch ON and turn on the electrical system (headlight,blower
motor) for 60 seconds to remove the surface charge.
(2) Turn the ignition switch OFF and turn off the electrical
systems. Then measure the battery voltage between the nega
tive and positive terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage: 12.5-12.9V at 20°C
Hint:
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.
2. Check battery terminals, fuse box and fuse
(1) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or corroded.
(2) Check if fuse box and fuse for continuity.
3. Inspect drive belt
(1) Check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc.
Hint:
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the
belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced.
(2) Check that the belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
Hint:
Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out
of the groove on the pulley.
4. Check alternator wiring
Check that the wiring is in good condition.Automobile Starting, Power Supply System -Charging system5-45. Listen for abnormal noises from alternator
Check that there is no abnormal noise from the alternator while the engine is running.
6. Inspect charge warning light circuit
Turn the ignition ON. Check that the charge warning light comes on. Start the engine. Check that the light
goes off.
Hint:
If the light does not work as normal, troubleshoot the charge warning light circuit.
