OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the pump. Connect the special tool between the pump and the pressure hose as illustrated.
2. Bleed the air, and then start the engine and turn the steering wheel several times so that the fluid temperature can rise to approximately 50 - 60°G
(122 - 132°F) operating temperature.
3. Increase the engine speed to l,000 ± 100 rpm.
4. Close the shut-off valve of the special tool and measure the fluid pressure to confirm that it is within the standard value range.
Standard value
Relief pressure:..............................5.9 MPa (60 kg cm2, 853 psi)
CAUTION: Do not keep the shut-off valve on the pressure gauge closed for more than ten seconds.
5. If the fluid pressure is not within the standard value range, overhaul the oil pump.
6. Remove the special tools, anti tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.
