4. Attach a hose to the end of the valve as shown.
5. Submerge the valve in a container of power steering fluid or solvent, and blow in the hose. If air bubbles leak through the valve at less than 98 kPa
(1.0 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi), repair it as follows ('97 model). For '98 - 01 models, the flow control valve cannot be disassembled; replace the pump as
an assembly.
6. For '97 model only, hold the bottom end of the valve with a open end wrench. Unscrew the seat in the top end of the valve, and remove any shims,
the relief check ball, relief valve, and relief valve spring.
7. Clean all the parts in solvent, dry them off, then reassemble and retest the valve.
The relief pressure is adjusted at the factory by adding shims under the check ball seat. If you found shims in your valve, be sure you reinstall as
many as you took out.
8. If the flow control valve tests OK, reinstall it in the pump. If the flow control valve still leaks air, replace the pump as an assembly. The flow
control valve is not available separately.
