6 V6-3.7L (2009)
-
38-51 Nm {3.9-5.2 kgf-m, 29-37 ft-lbf}
4. Bleed the air from the system. See: Power Steering Bleeding/Service and Repair
5. Open the gauge valve fully.
6. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to raise the fluid temperature to 50-60 °C {122-140 °F}.
7. Close the gauge valve completely.
8. Increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm and measure the fluid pressure generated by the oil pump.
-
If the pressure is not within the specification, repair or replace the oil pump component.
CAUTION:
-
If the valve is left closed for more than 5 seconds, the fluid temperature will rise excessively and adversely affect the oil pump.
Oil pump fluid pressure
-
L5: 8.33-8.82 MPa {85.0-89.9 kgf/cm2, 1209-1279 psi}
-
MZI-3.7: 8.80-9.29 MPa {90.0-94.7 kgf/cm2, 1277-1342 psi}
9. Open the gauge valve fully and increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm.
10. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right, then measure the fluid pressure generated at the gear housing.
-
If the pressure is not within the specification, repair or replace the steering gear component.
CAUTION:
-
If the steering wheel is kept in the fully turned position for more than 5 seconds, the fluid temperature will rise excessively and adversely affect
the oil pump.
Gear housing fluid pressure
-
L5: 8.33-8.82 MPa {85.0-89.9 kgf/cm2, 1209-1279 psi}
-
MZI-3.7: 8.80-9.29 MPa {90.0-94.7 kgf/cm2, 1277-1342 psi}
11. Remove the SSTs. Install and tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.
