General Description

The hydraulic power steering system consists of a pump, an oil reservoir, a steering unit, a pressure hose and a return

hose.

Power Steering Unit

440R300001

The power steering unit is rack and pinion type.

The toe-in angle can be adjusted by turning the rod on each side.

NOTE:

The steering housing cannot be disassembl ed.

Hydraulic Pump

442R300004

The hydraulic pump is vane-type design. The submerged pump has housing and internal parts that are inside the

reservoir and operate submerged in oil. There are two bore openings at the rear of the pump housing. The larger

opening contains the cam ring, pressure plate, thrust plate, rotor and vane assembly, and end plate. The smaller

opening contains the pressure line union, flow control valve and spring.

The flow control orifice is part of the pressure line union. The pressure relief valve inside the flow control valve limits the

pump pressure.

Steering Column

431R300011

WARNING: TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN TROUBLE-SHOOTING THE SRS SYSTEM, DO NOT USE

ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS BATTERY-POWERED OR A/C-POWERED VOLT-METER,

OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.

DO NOT USE A NON-POWERED PROBE-TYPE TESTER. INSTRUCTION IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED

CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.

When servicing a vehicle equipped with Supplemental Restraint System, pay close attention to all WARNINGS and

CAUTIONS.

For detailed explanation about SRS, refer to Restraints section.

The steering column has three important features in addition to the steering function:

1. The column is energy absorbing, designed to compress in a front-end collision to minimize the possibility of injury to

the driver of the vehicle.

2. The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on the column.

3. With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering operation can be locked to prevent theft of the vehicle.

The column can be disassembled and reassembled.

NOTE: To insure the energy absorbing action, use only the specified screws, bolts and nuts as designated,

and tighten them to the specified torque.

Handle the column with care when it is removed from the vehicle. A sharp blow on the end of steering shaft or shift

lever, or dropping the assembly could shear or loosen the fasteners that maintain column rigidity.

Power Steering System Test

Test Procedure

F02RX002

Legend

(1) Bolt

(2) Hose

(3) Power Steering Unit

(4) Power Steering Pump

Test of fluid pressure in the power steering system is

performed to determine whether or not the oil pump and

power steering unit are functioning normally.

The power steering system test is used to identify and

isolate hydraulic circuit difficulties. Prior to performing

this test, the following inspections and corrections, if

necessary, must be made.

• Inspect pump reservoir for proper fluid level.

• Inspect pump belt for proper tension.

• Inspect pump driver pulley condition.

1. Place a container under the pump to catch the fluid

when disconnecting or connecting the hoses.

2. With the engine NOT running, disconnect the

pressure hose at the power steering pump and

install power steering tester 5-8840-0135-0 as

shown in the illustration. The gage must be between

the shutoff valve and pump. Open the shutoff valve.

3. Check the fluid level. Fill the reservoir with power

steering fluid, to the "Full" mark. Start the engine,

then turn the steering wheel and momentarily hold it

against a stop (right or left). Turn the engine off and

check the connections at tester for leakage.

4. Bleed the system. Refer to Bleeding the Power

Steering System in this section.

5. Start the engine and check the fluid level. Add

power steering fluid if required. When the engine is

at normal operating temperature, increase engine

speed to 1500 rpm.

CAUTION: To prevent internal pump damage, Do

not leave shutoff valve fully closed for more than 5

seconds.

6. Fully close the shutoff valve. Record the highest

pressures.

• If the pressure recorded is within 9300-9800 kPa

(95-100 kg/cm2/1350-1420 psi), the pump is

functioning within its specifications.

• If the pressure recorded is higher than 9800 kPa

(100 kg/cm2/1420 psi), the valve in the pump is

defective.

• If the pressure recorded is lower than 9300 kPa (95

kg/cm2/1350 psi), the valve or the rotating group in

the pump is defective.

7. If the pump pressures are within specifications,

leave the valve open and turn (or have someone

else turn) the steering wheel fully in both directions.

Record the highest pressures and compare with the

maximum pump pressure recorded in step 6. If this

pressure cannot be built in either side of the power

steering unit, the power steering unit is leaking

internally and must be replaced.

8. Shut the engine off, remove the testing gauge.

9. Reconnect the pressure hose, check the fluid level

and make the needed repairs.

10. If the problem still exists, the steering and front

suspension must be thoroughly examined.

Maintenance

The hydraulic system should be kept clean and fluid

level in the reservoir should be checked at regular

intervals and fluid added when required. Refer to

Recommended Fluids and Lubricants in General

Information section for the type of fluid to be used and

the intervals for filling.

If the system contains some dirt, flush it as described in

this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, the pump must be

completely disassembled before further usage. (The

steering unit cannot be disassembled.)

All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for

leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make

sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses

are in place and properly secured.

Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,

kinked or tightly bent. Air in the system will cause

spongy action and noisy operation. When a hose is

disconnected or when fluid is lost, for any reason, the

system must be bled after refilling. Refer to Bleeding the

Power Steering System in this section.

• Inspect belt for tightness.

• Inspect pulley for looseness or damage. The pulley

should not wobble with the engine running.

• Inspect hoses so they are not touching any other

parts of the vehicle.

• Inspect fluid level and fill to the proper level.

Fluid Level

1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid

reaches normal operating temperature, about 55°C

(130°F), then shut the engine off.

2. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.

3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid as

specified in General Information to the proper level

and install the receiver cap.

4. When checking the fluid level after the steering

system has been serviced, air must be bled from

the system. Refer to Bleeding the Power Steering

System in this section.

Bleeding The Power Steering System

When a power steering pump or unit has been installed,

or an oil line has been disconnected, the air that has

entered the system must be bled out before the vehicle

is operated. If air is allowed to remain in the power

steering fluid system, noisy and unsatisfactory operation

of the system may result.

Bleeding Procedure

When bleeding the system, and any time fluid is added

to the power steering system, be sure to use only power

steering fluid as specified in General Information.

1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and

let the fluid settle for at least two minutes.

2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds. Do

not turn the steering wheel. Then turn the engine

off.

3. Add fluid if necessary.

4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level

remains constant after running the engine.

5. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle so

that the wheels are off the ground.

6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel right

and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.

7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.

8. Lower the vehicle, set the steering wheel at the

straight forward position after turning it to its full

steer positions 2 or 3 times, and stop the engine.

9. Check the fluid level and refill as required.

10. If the fluid is extremely foamy , allow the vehicle to

set a few minutes, then repeat the above procedure.

Flushing The Pow e r Steering System

1. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle off

the ground until the wheels are free to turn.

2. Remove the fluid return line at the pump inlet

connector and plug the connector port on the pump.

Position the line toward a large container to catch

the draining fluid.

3. While running the engine at idle, fill the reservoir

with new power steering fluid. Turn the steering

wheel in both directions. Do not contact or hold the

steering wheel to the wheel stops. This will cause

the pump to go to pressure relief mode, which may

cause a sudden fluid overflow at the reservoir.

4. Install all the lines and hoses. Fill the system with

new power steering fluid and bleed the system as

described in Bleeding The Power Steering System.

Operate the engine for about 15 minutes.

Remove the pump return line at the pump inlet and

plug the connection on the pump. While refilling the

reservoir, check the draining fluid for contamination.

If foreign material is still evident, replace all lines,

disassemble and clean or replace the power

steering system components. Do not re-use any

drained power steering fluid.

Steering Wheel Free Play Inspection

060R300016

1. With the tires in the straight-ahead position, check

the amount of steering wheel play by turning the

wheel in both directions until the tires begin to move.

NOTE: The wheel free play should be checked with the

engine running.

Free play: 0 - 30 mm (0 - 1.18 in)

2. Also check the steering wheel for play and

looseness in the mount by moving it back and forth

and sideways. When test driving, check for hard

steering, steering shimmy and tendency to pull to

one side.

Front End Alignment Inspection and

Adjustment

Toe-in Adjustment

Toe-in: Refer to Section 3A FRONT ALIGNMENT

1. To adjust the toe-in angle, loosen the lock nuts (2)

Service Precaution

This steering wheel and column repair section covers

the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) steering

column. The following repair procedures are specific to

SRS components. When servicing a vehicle equipped

with Supplemental Restraint System, pay close attention

to all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.

For detailed explanation about SRS, refer to

Restraints section.

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.

SAFE HANDLING OF INFLATOR MODULES

REQUIRES FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES

DESCRIBED BELOW FOR BOTH LIVE AND

DEPLOYED MODULES.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED

WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG

ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG). AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE

AIR BAG ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG) SURFACE MAY

CONTAIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SODIUM

HYDROXIDE, A BY-PRODUCT OF THE
