Hoist vehicle.
Inspect each boot for tear. A torn boot allows entry of
dust and water which can cause wear to steering rack
and pinion to produce noise as well as rust to result in
malfunction of steering system.
Even if boot tear is small, replace with new one.
Also, check each boot for dent. If there is a dent, keep
boot in most compressed st ate for some seconds to
correct dent.
Boots should be visually inspected for any damage, dent
and tear during every periodical inspection at specified
intervals and whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
purpose.

5) Warm up engine to the normal operating temperature and keep it at the specified idle speed.
6) Turn A/C switch ON, set blower speed selector at maximum speed position, temperature selector at
maximum cold position, airflow selector at face
position, and air intake switch at recirculation
position. (Confirm that A/C compressor and
condenser fans are working.)

it is within shaded range of graph. If each gauge
reading is out of specified pressure, correct defective
part referring to the following table.
NOTE
Pressure registered on gauge varies with
ambient temperature. Therefore, use the
graphs when determining if pressures are
normal or not.

Low side and high side pressure example,
Gauges should read as follows when ambient
temperature is 30 °C (86 °F)
Pressure on high pressure gauge (HI): 1590 –
1940 kPa (15.9 – 19.4 kg/cm2)
