Service Precaution

WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL

RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS

COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN

ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE

PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS

COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU

ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE

SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER

TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO

FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN

POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL

INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM

REPAIRS.

CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the

proper location. When you replace a fastener, use

ONLY the exact part number for that application.

HOLDEN will call out those fasteners that require a

replacement after removal. HOLDEN will also call

out the fasteners that require thread lockers or

thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED,

do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases,

or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners

or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such

coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and

the joint clamping force, and may damage the

fastener. When you install fasteners, use the

correct tightening sequence and specifications.

Following these instructions can help you avoid

damage to parts and systems.

(5) if the spring is damaged or badly worn.

051RS002

Body (14) and Gears (10, 11)

The pump assembly must be replaced if one or more of

the conditions below is discovered during inspection.

• Badly worn or damaged driven gear (10).

• Badly worn drive gear (11) driving face.

• Badly scratched or scored body sliding face (14) or

driven gear (10).

driven gear with a feeler gauge.

Standard : 0.11 mm–0.24 mm

(0.0043 in–0.0094 in)

Limit : 0.35mm (0.0138 in)

051RS003

straight edge and a feeler gauge.

Clearance

Standard : 0.03 mm–0.09 mm

(0.0011 in–0.0035 in)
